Sellers description:
This vehicle (we called him Horatio) proves it's the journey . . . not the destination. This is what cars were meant to be. I've owned this car for 41 of it's 55 years - garage kept. Parts for the original engine became impossible to get, which made the car unreliable. Chevy engine, transmission and rear end cured all that. The best of both worlds - American dependability / European elegance. The car isn't licensed. I start it 3 or 4 times a year and drive it around the block. I had the car painted and reupholstered in the late '70s. Some rust starting to show - but it looks great considering. Starts and runs good. Brakes are leaking fluid - I just add more fluid occasionally. Original AC is located in trunk. It worked several years ago, but I haven't even tried it in years. Horatio could easily be a dependable daily use vehicle or a true show car with some restoration. Mileage shown isn't correct - cable rattled and was disconnected.
