edinmass Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 It’s in a town well known for one of the world’s best restoration shops………I’m certain I have friends familiar with the car. Basically a free pre war ride in decent condition. How can you go wrong? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 I just noticed that this car has been altered a little where the rear fenders attach to the body. There is no welting there and where the welting should be, this has been filled in. Buyer should look underneath this car and in the trunk to see how this was done. All filler?????
