you can't say it's one owner and then also say the previous owner did xyz...
This car has had multiple owners though, at least 3 documented owners, buyer beware

Doesn't look black to me, looks like a wood steering wheel.
I think there is a decimal point missing. Punctuation can change the meaning as in: I helped my uncle Jack off a horse. Adding a comma in the right place is needed... unless it's not. _________________ Glenn

Maybe Marilyn Monroe farted in it, that would make it worth a little extra wouldn’t it?  |

^Isn’t that the wrong fan shroud? |
The shroud is correct, it’s the last of the stale air, and the beginning of that shaped shroud. This car was built in July of 62, so it’s literally the last of the 62’s. |

Just removing everything that's RED on that car would be an improvement. _________________

The engine looks clean to me. But:
- The front fender are showing a different location for the peanut turn signal.
- wrong catch for the deck lid lock
- the outside paint looks new to me
I could imagine a low mileage car regarding the interior including the rubber mats and the carpet and also the door gaps and alignment. Perhaps it had early repairs after an accident? |
