PLEASE NOTE THE TEAR IN THE HEADLINER ABOVE THE REAR WINDSHIELD, I HAVE A PIECE OF CLOSE MATCHING MATERIAL TO REPAIR IT. TO ME, THE ORIGINAL HEADLINER IS WAY TOO NICE TO REPLACE. ALSO, THE ALMOST NEW HANKOOK TIRES HAVE 1-INCH WHITEWALLS, I INSTALLED THE WIDE "MICKEY MOUSE/PORTAWALLS, THEY ARE NICE QUALITY AND QUITE A CONVERSATION STARTER WITH YOUNGER/UNDER 50-YEAR OLD COLLECTORS

FINALLY, i APOLOGIZE FOR THE APPEARANCE OF THE TEXT IT IS SOME KIND OF A BUG IN EBAY'S SYSTEM,

Want to buy this car?
