This example has received much care and love and has recently been treated to both cosmetic and mechanical restoration. It's had one respray in its original Aquamarine Blue paint. The original white and teal leather interior is in amazing condition and the carpeting has been replaced. The convertible top is a very nice off white and shows well. All chrome has been refinished to a gleaming finish. The original engine has just over 72,000 original miles (mileage not indicated on the title), on it and runs strong and smooth with close to factory-spec compression in all eight cylinders. A complete new aluminized exhaust system from front to back has been installed.

The braking system has been redone from the master back to all four drums, shoes and cylinders. Fresh Coker wide whitewall tires adorn all four corners. The fuel tank has been removed and totally restored with a new sender unit. All electrics are functioning and a brand-new sealed original-style period battery was installed. The very complex and elaborate convertible top system is in fine working order with just a one switch operation and incorporates a very unique electrically-controlled rear breezeway window. These cars represent the zenith of a period of styling and luxury excess. Automatic transmission.
