The paint on the car is presumed to be about 35 years old and has a fair amount of patina. It's still a great 15-footer, though, with a rust-free frame, without exaggeration.

The odo shows a tick under 23,000 miles. The odometer was reset in the '70s when the engine was replaced. The engine in the car is correct and falls within the correct serialization for that model year. We are unsure of exactly how many miles are on the engine or the chassis. It's been a west coast car most all of its life, however, so it is in remarkably good condition for its 50 years of life on the road.

The mechanicals are all sorted out. The car starts, runs and drives as it should. All electricals work.

Get in it and drive. You'll have no regrets as this car appreciates.
