I have owned this car for 25 years and enjoyed driving and restoring this roadster. I have kept it garaged and under collector insurance the whole time. I am the fourth owner and I am selling it to allow time and space for a different branch and emphasis of the old-car hobby. It has been kept as a fun vehicle to enjoy and drive and restore if not improve upon the original state.

Disclosure: Here are some items. imperfections that detract from ideal:
1. Finish: There is some orange peel on fenders and doors and sl. runs on right rear fender and driver door. A The right rear body tub was dinged after painting and this was repaired but feathered edge of clear coat was not buffed out; the clear coat on the front bumper. which is aluminum. has flaked off in areas;
