Been in my family a long time. My dad bought her from the original owner in 1962.
If I drive her much this year she'll roll over 75k miles

All original except for paint.

Thanks!

Yeah. This one is still as it was new. Never been apart.
I rebuild the carb every few years. Modern gas is hell on accelerator pumps for some reason.

It's about time to do a rebuild and freshen some other things up as well. I'll keep it like this as long as I can though... She's only original once.

I really wish I was handy enough to restore a car. Would love to do something classic one day but I'll have to pay for all the engine work.

That car looks insanely classy, 'Umi'umi. I'd love to see some interior pics as well!
