I do have the factory invoice with the build date and option list. The engine has been rebuilt and runs great, the points and condenser was replaced with the Pertronix ignitor so now you have the best of both worlds, the original distributor but the electronic breakerless ignition system that is trouble free.

The dash gages all work including the Tach and clock. The dash cover is like new, An AM/FM cassette radio was installed; all of the dash panels look like new and the steering column chrome was replated, It has both tops, both are white, the hardtop was repainted when we done the restoration and the convertible soft top was replaced at that time to include repainting the top frame and installing new weather stripping.
