I bought the car in 1982 in Long Beach, Ca., drove it to Michigan where I drove it until October and put it in the barn. Driven only summers until 2003 when it went back in the barn until 3 weeks ago. Installed new brakes, master cylinder, fuel pump, transmission seal, replaced fluid, cleaned inside of gas tank (added fresh gas), replaced anti-freeze, heater hoses, belts, mufflers and 4 new Cooper Tires. I have all maintenance records since 1980 and believe I'am the 3rd or 4th owner. Body has some surface rust in the seams but is solid and no rust is a major issue for restoration. Frame is remarkably solid and free of any problems. Console clock needs repair and one heater control lever is broken. This car is a top candidate for restoration.
