VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
From Louis Abelove collection. Additional history coming.

Currently addressing a few items in order to get the car operational again. Leaking heater valve, Torsion Level inoperative, checking over all systems (electrical, brakes, fuel, etc). Once reliability is confirmed I will move on to addressing the cosmetics. Replace dented chrome, remove and paint black lines/polish the stainless trim, improve the exterior emblems, polish the paint, etc. Eventually will likely repaint the correct Mojave Tan color.
