The following condition report, while thorough, is not exhaustive as vintage cars have inherent wear and imperfections. We welcome personal inspections.

An accident in 2017 with a deer resulted in work performed to the front and left front of the car; work was of a high level, as repairs aren't apparent; tires are aged but have like-new tread and are not dry; some of the interior vinyl trim on the doors is shrinking as expected; Michelin tires in good condition dated 2006; no other apparent concerns.
