Thanks and no not really doesn't mention anywhere mileage on papers, back in those days peeps were not worried about the mileage I suppose!!! It went from the OG owner to his daughter same name and address then they parked it!!

Thanks, No way to know about the mileage but looking at interior condition and rubber mats etc its plausible! Either way I love it and it runs like new! it was parked from late 70's till 3 years ago!!!

| Thank you. Your notch is gorgeous. Is it really low mileage or has it gone round the clock? It reads just over27,000 km!!! By the looks of the original interior it is very low Ln car! Congratulations! Dave |

| No worries, is there a build thread for the 63 square now? Do you have one for your 62 Notch? I'm always very interested 😊😊😊 Cheers. Dave |

That's the plan until really necessary!
I know I've done some restos in the past!!
Enjoying is what I'm doing now and scoring all the parts!!!

Gotta love an early PBD Squareback in its original colors! Great work you've done so far. Don't pull it apart for a full resto, as it'll take too long to get it back together again. Drive it, enjoy it, and continue to work on the little items to make it more complete.

Thanks man, I love it too!
It was made like this before me!
I'm scoring all the parts for a resto and then it will be repainted in the OG color!
It's not on my priority list right now as I'm having way too much fun with it right now! Maybe a roll on paint job for the meantime!

I love this square.
Whats the deal with the paint? Was it a stipe at one time or made to fade?
