The mileage on the odometer is 16303, true mileage is unknown. The interior is a nice correct leather with a new headliner and fresh carpets. The chrome is good,body panel gaps are nice. All instrumentation are in good condition and work properly. The paint is nice, not Pebble Beach quality but good. The car is as nice looking in person as the pictures reflect.

The gearbox is the fully synchronized four speed. Clutch was just replaced. My intent was to make this car into a high end driver and it is well known that these cars can sometimes have cooling issues. To solve potential coolong issues, an aluminum radiator was installed along with upgrading the cooling fan.

In summary it has:
- complete engine rebuilt, in warranty through December 2012
- new clutch
- new aluminum radiator
- new high volume cooling fan
- alternator rebuilt
- new ball joints
- new front shocks
- front and rear brake caliper rebuilt
- new rear cradle mounts
- rebuilt brake booster

All gauges in working order, including the clock.

Includes spare tire, jack in bag, tool roll, knock off hammer, Heritage Certificate, shop manual and owners manual.

This is not a concourse trailer queen and in no way am I implying that the car is perfect. If you have been looking for a very nice coupe that has been sorted out, this may well be the car for you.
