Has build sheet, owner's manual and pictures of the restoration. Same owner since the late 80s. He is a collector and body man by trade, owning his own shop. He bought it because of the exceptionally clean body and the long list of features. The car was put in dry storage for about 20 years. About 5 years ago he... finally got around to pulling the car from storage and giving it a full blown restoration. Only 1,393 miles since completed. EXTERIOR: Striking, better than new appearance.
