I have driven this car myself and can personally attest to the condition. It is a verycomfortable and powerful car even by modern standards. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere.It starts easily, uns smoothly, nd the transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears. Mechanically everything appears sound. Unfortunately I do not know how many miles are on it since the rebuild, or do I know if the odometer has been flipped.
The pictures tell the story on this. If you have any questions, lease ask before bidding and I will do my best to answer them in a timely fashion.

The wheelbase measures 126 inches. An electric fuel pump has been added to make the car start more easily.The hood latch handles have the word "Century" on them, isible in one of the photos. This car has two carburetors and has had them for as long as I have been aware of it, ut I don't know if it came from the factory like that. There are some stains and discoloration of the convertible top, hich I have also tried to show in the pictures.
