They were also responsible for the engine overhaul, rebuilding the fuel injection system, suspension, brakes, refinishing the wheels, complete interior, and rewiring of the entire car. It has been recently polished to a high shine and the black paint continues to appear a mile deep! It has been in the same collector's hands since 2015, always stored in a climate-controlled environment, along with minimal annual exercise to ensure it remains in strong running condition. We tested all components and found everything to be operating properly right down to the clock and AM radio. It truly runs and drives as it should, so it is ready to show proudly and confidently! - $129,900 - More photos & complete vehicle history here - Contact Jon Faust (314)993-1330 or email jon@stlouiscarmuseum.com Edited August 14, 2023 by St. Louis Car Museum vehicle sold (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
