My Personal Opinion:
I have personally looked the car over and driven it. I have reviewed all of the documentation that the owner provided, now the owner personally, nd know the shop owner personally who did the body and paint. This is not a Barrett Jackson car, ut it's also not $75000.00. The car runs and drives very nicely, ody and paint work appears to have been done correctly, nd the trim is in nice condition. I have had the car up on a lift and the frame appears to be very solid. The center well in the trunk floor has been replaced at some point and a nice job done with that.A few odds and ends need doing in the interior, ut overall very presentable. If I owned the car, 'd install the A/C and headliner then drive it just the way it is. Having been a licensed Vermont auto dealer for 34 years, 'd would call this car an 8 out of 10...The car is for sale locally, nd I have to reserve the right to end this auction early but I will not end the auction if I have bids. I encourage you to ask questions before bidding. This car is 51 years old, nd does not belong to me. Although I believe that the information provided to me to be accurate, can not be held responsible. If you want to inspect the car before bidding, all me at 802-748-6373 and we can set up an appointment.
