Seriously what is up with that 53 😂

"Restoration began 2017" We can all agree something began in 2017 but I wouldn't call it that...

"new refinished luxury interior." But no pictures of the seats, just the door cards which remind me of Mexican blankets. Not to judge someone's taste but come on now... if it's "refinished" and "luxury" then surely there is no fear in showing it?

"New paint and body work." Yes, who doesn't want a freshly painted grille and hood ornament? Tailfins and taillight housings too. No attention paid to the rear bumper though, which is very rusty.

"All original (restored) electrical." Is it original OR restored? Repaired? You can't "restore" old wiring any more than you can restore ratty fabric.

Instead of more car pics, seller has eight (8) pictures of gasoline receipts. Why? Why not, I guess.

Some things I noticed in the pictures:
- Screwed on door panels instead of upholstery clips
- No door locks look right
- Silicone on driver's vent window gasket
- Carpet is either ratty or missing
- Instrument cluster and front bumper not even cleaned/polished
- Hood and trunk emblems missing

Looks nice for a "goin' to town car". Does not look nice for being the seller's "2nd completed restoration"... And the low mileage of 35k does little to offset the $20k asking price.
