It is unrestored and all original, ready for a complete restoration OR very drivable the way it is. It runs and drives very well having had maintenance done and systems overhauled along the way. There is some rust in the driver’s floor and the top needs to be replaced, but overall, it is in pretty nice condition for the money.
Contact BaT for contact info to get price and set a time to inspect. If you are outside of the Seattle area and would like a pre-purchase inspection, we can accommodate you. If you would like an independent appraisal, we can recommend a couple of appraisers to choose from. Nothing to hide... THIS IS AN HONEST CAR.
