The car runs incredibly well under city traffic conditions and out on the open freeway. With a reverse 'dog leg' 3-speed gearbox with overdrive, you can really put your foot into the car and pull away with ease. The stainless steel exhaust system provides a welcomed resonation what matches with the high compression motor noises.

All gauges appear to be working properly along with running lights, head lights, high-beams and fog lamps. Horn and turn signals were also tested with success.

Overall the paint is in excellent condition and the interior is neat and clean all around. Engine bay is also tidy and correct. Wire rims installed are free of curb rash and the tires are in like-new condition. The spare set of chrome wire wheels are brand new in their original boxes. Brightwork, trim and plating all around the car are in excellent condition, including the rear override bumpers, inside door jamb pieces, headlight surrounds and large chrome grill.
