This car has been garaged since its purchase in 1992. Bill Quinlisk. has performed maintenance & repair on this car in past years. including: brakes. suspension work. rebuilding the steering gear box. insulating the interior. replacing the headlight door actuators. new oil pan. new water pump. and recently installing a new radiator.   Have most records from new.   This is an exciting "driver"  that runs great into the 50th Anniversary year for THE CAT.   To be show ready will require hood and deck refinishing plus some touch-up & miscellaneous work as photographs depict (hood. deck lid) + Sunroof vinyl.
