This car runs extremely well and is in fully operational condition. Three speed transmission (on the column) works smoothly, clutch is perfect, engine starts quickly and easily and runs quiet and smoothly and has plenty of power. Brakes work well and the car stops evenly. Lights work, turn signals work. I believe everything to be original, and the car is in very good condition, seats and interior appear to be the originals and match the trim/color tag. Entire dash is original and the original factory radio is still in the dash, although the light inside works, the radio no longer functions. Gauges in dashboard all work including the speedometer/odometer, engine temp, fuel, battery, oil pressure. Odometer reads 22,957.
