When I purchased this car from the widowed owner, the car had not been driven after winning Gold for several years. I did so with the intention to drive, but this car should be on display and driven rarely, unless you have a lot more money than I do. If so... drive it and enjoy. When I had it trucked to my home, I had to have everything adjusted and tightened, it was a trailer queen... the only thing I added was a fuel pump... that is hidden very well, however can be easily removed,
There are not many left like this, and the older we get, the older and rarer they get, I have been selling used pickup trucks for years, you can visit needatt.com to see more pictures as well
