The vehicle is an “antique” and is being sold in As-Is condition. It is in generally good condition, but has not been checked by a mechanic. However, since it has been stored for 32 years some work is necessary. The original paint is in good condition but there are a few areas where small flakes have come off. The chrome parts are in very good condition. The tires still hold air but their condition is probably less than adequate. The interior wood work and leather is generally very good but does need some lubrication and repairs. Some dry rot has occurred in the rubber around the windows.

While we have demonstrated the condition of the vehicle in the photographs, a buyer may request an on-site inspection of the vehicle at a mutually convenient date and time, weather permitting. The street photo is a pre-1978 picture. The remaining photos are recently taken of the garaged vehicle.

The vehicle is not currently registered with the State of Virginia.
