Description
The current owner purchased the car in 2016, at which time it was in need of restoration. It had previously been repainted red at some point, but the current color is the original one. The car was completely dismantled into individual components and the restoration was begun. Six years later, a proud owner drove it to the vehicle inspection, where it passed with praise. As a house purchase is now upcoming, he has chosen to sell his gem.

The car runs excellently and everything works perfectly, including the overdrive. A skilled and meticulous owner has gone through the entire car in great detail. It has only covered 192 km since the restoration was completed.
-
Interior condition
Reupholstered interior with a high-quality, original appearance. The rubber floor mats were impossible to source and have therefore been replaced with textile mats. The headliner has wrinkled slightly during installation.
-
Exterior condition
Everything has been taken down to individual components and repainted. The underside and the sides up to the trim line were epoxy-primed prior to professional painting. All chrome is in as-new condition, as are the original wheels with new tires. The entire car is in show condition.

General condition
A fantastic car to own and be proud of, attracting well-deserved attention wherever it is displayed.

Owner's comment
Restored—virtually everything is new or has been worked on. Fully functioning overdrive. I have owned the car since 2016. The restoration took place between 2016 and 2022. It has covered 192 km since the restoration was completed. Virtually everything is new. Every single bolt has been removed and replaced with a new one. The body was mounted on a rotisserie and the entire underside was stripped clean. Painted with epoxy and body coating.
The engine was completely dismantled and fitted with new main bearings and piston rings. The carburetor, alternator, starter motor, fuel pump, etc., have been rebuilt. Both the rear axle and front axle were fully dismantled.
If the car has been standing for about two weeks or more, the fuel drains back from the pump to the tank. It starts easily with the help of starting fluid. The original rubber floor mat is missing as it is no longer available new. It has been replaced with a newly manufactured, model-specific textile floor mat. The trim piece by the dashboard has a dent from installation.
