This car spent most of it's existence in New Mexico and Arizona and is being sold on a Arizona title. The paint is very nice with a mirror like reflection with a small imperfections from being driven. All of the chrome , trim glass, and bright work is very nice. The body is straight and the fit & finish is superb. The interior appears to be original and shows fantastic with only a few small imperfections. This "R" code is being offered at a fraction of the cost to restore one to this level. This is a highly collectible car and arguably none nicer for sale. Call 314-346-6039 to purchase or with any questions. 314-346-6039.
