This is an amazing opportunity to be part of the collector car hobby. You will be doing a lot of talking at car shows;gets more attention than much more expensive, more commonly seen collector cars.The interior is exceptionally clean and is invery good original condition.
Car has mostly original paint except forone or two quarters, Original sheet metal. Vehicle does have chips and some small spider cracks on the paint though itappears good dueto the cleaning and waxing I did on the car.
The car has a yellow exterior with a saddle brown interior whichis classic for the era and provides an additional level of nostalgia. It is almost impossible to findthese large wagonslet alone in very good original condition with low miles.
There is a trend now emerging where a premium is placed on original cars.
