Hawaiian print material headliner, red tweed upholstery, originalrambler floor mats. White vinyl door panels.A well-known and respected local surfer, surfboard shaper and surf historian, Mike Marshall was the "real deal" in Southern California surfing and surf culture and this was his car. I bought it 2 years ago and brought it with me from the west coast to the east coast. It has been regularly and professionally serviced and runs great! Manual trans. with 3 on the tree. Motor is the original 220 flathead straight 6 rebuilt sometime in 09. Approx. 6400 milage on the rebuilt. Slightly lowered. Paint is light pink body with pearl white top. Has about 4 tiny pits in paint on top of passenger side fender (no rust). Couple of small marks along doors, nothing huge. Drivers side door is fussy and has to be closed gently to latch. White walls are a bit dirty and could use a good scrubbing. Drives like a dream!! Like most old cars, this car likes to be driven regularly to keep it running smoothly. Sweet spot on the freeway is about 60/65. Turns heads like no other!! This is a daily driver car NOT a trailer queen or show car (although I did just come back from taking it to 2 car shows & as always gets tons of attention). This is an classic and withALL classic cars you will need to do regular adjustments & maintenance to the motor to keep it running strong.If youare not a "car person" meaning you don'tknowbasic maintenance of having a classic caror have neverowned classic cars, this probably is not the car for you.Owning a classic car can be an expensive hobby. I say that because I know there are folks out there thatthink you just get in anddrive like a modern computerized car or cannot afford tomaintain their cars and they end up being towed to a junk yard or sold for scrap metal. I don't want that to happen with this awesome piece of history. I keep it at my mechanics in ST. Augustine for storage since I don't have room in my garage, so he does my scheduled maintenance and tune-ups. If you would like to schedule a time to see it in St. Augustine FL.
