Backstory- I purchased car from 2nd owners (2024) in Oklahoma where it spent most of its life. Car was purchased new In Los Angeles and driven out to Oklahoma, where original owner used it to drive back and forth to his office. Car received a mild restoration in the late 80s, then sat in garage from mid 90s to when I purchased it last year. I have birth certificate. The car did not retain its original motor as to why I did the engine swap. Nothing was modified or cut and can be put back to stock over a weekend.
Clean title in hand, one respray in original color L87, the inside of the car and front trunk still retain it original paint. I have the original keys which work the doors, ignition, glove box and hood lock. Car does not appear to have ever been in accident, Front nose is very nice, as well as rockers, rear pan sections have been patched. Battery tray was replaced and battery relocated under rear seat. All correct lowlight bits are there minus the correct sunvisors. Convertible top is in good working shape, black Canvas but is a little sunfaded.
