Condition
7
The car underwent refurbishment in the 1990s and has been owned by the same person for 49 years. While it features desirable options like dual side-mount spares and a heater, the odometer shows unknown true mileage, and the carburetor was repaired in April 2026, suggesting it's not in pristine or outstanding condition. It's in very good overall shape with some signs of age and use.
