Nice looking car. Got to love that black paint. My 4 door i want to put new brakes and rims and tires with white lettering (something custom) not sure what yet. Engine is good with only 20,000 miles. Does need a new windshield cracked thats why my grandpa stopped driving it in 1971.

Super nice. Attention to detail and engineering certainly pays off.
