Reason: Sold.
Loved this car when EdT was selling it and still love it. Looks like EdZ has taken it up a notch, hopefully it finds a new owner who will treat it as well as the last two owners!
Just a few more pics to show the original gauges. All work correctly except for the clock – which runs for awhile after being set, then stops. Mileage is 63,788, plus a few miles added before I could replace a broken speedometer driven gear in the trans.The last pic is the console plaque denoting the L-82 engine which is original and has never been pulled from the car. Thanks for looking.
