The engine turns over and starts up, nd if you change the gas, nd clean the carburetor, t would probably continue to run, ut we recommend rebuilding the engine if you plan to use this as a daily driver. – see link to short video on YouTube below –

The transmission works, nd the brakes stop the car, ut we wouldn’t recommend trying to drive it home until it has been fully checked out. It has been stored in California for many years and has minimal rust. Please see pictures for more details.

As shown in the pictures the car is currently painted a beautiful Wisteria Metallic. However, s the body tag shows, he Original Color was “26” Athenian Blue Metallic and it came with a Dark Blue vinyl top “L”.

The original combination was very “Presidential” in appearance. We have included a picture to show how the car looked originally.
