This is a fun to drive vehicle. It will need work. Needs top installed (included). Could use some interior work and a paint job but will get you around town and back as is. I have been driving it off and on for the two years that I have had it but it's time to make room in the garage for my daughters' vehicles now. The 429 is not original. Who cares?! It's a 429! Just know that it is almost 50 years old! You are not buying a new car. Don't expect it. Buy it for what it is and have fun with it. People love it and there are not many 69's around anywhere.
