Sellers description:
With 42,075 miles showing on the odometer this one family owned car from new with its original delivery manuals and California black plates that still look pristine showing the last registration date of 1979 has got to be one of the most original examples to be offered for sale. Original paint in the jamb, engine bay and trunk area show a little more orange than the one re-spray of the out the outside body panels, The original interior with gas brake and pedal pads still intact showing the minimal wear, original carpet and notice the picture with the original reddish tonneau cover This car is a very detailed original fine example and would make a perfect J.C.N.A restoration project or is the ideal candidate for the person who would like an original car and would just freshen the mechanical systems and drive it with it current nostalgic patina look, as original cars seem to be the most sought after by collectors. Notice some of the smaller parts of the car all in their proper places such as the front license plate bracket, rear license panel top chrome molding, bottom of door curve wood inserts at opening rear of door, front door jamb weather stripping bottom drip metal. It seems like the parts are all in place some not seen on many cars. Doors are solid and do not sag and the gaps remain the best possible from factory delivery, tight and even as is the hood line and trunk all the best possible fit. No signs of even the slightest damage or wrinkle in any metal we can see on the car inside the front of the hood behind the grill is excellent on both sides. The trunk still holds the tools under the wood trunk floor and the access locking tool is clipped on the rear drivers side inner quarter. Seems to be the original spare tire and still has the trunk liner over the wooden trunk sub floor. Straight and symmetrical front, rear and on the four corners it appears to us as we look it over. Bumpers with nice chrome along with pristine badges on the hood and trunk along with fabulous trunk handle and solid fit when you close it or the doors and hood. Truly an exceptional example and having the potential of being the best of the best we think you will be very pleased to own this fabulous car. At this time only one rear spat included.
