I agree with your assessment. It's clearly been indoors most of its life.

A really clean time piece from yesteryear for sure.

Being a "plain jane" in addition to being so well preserved, was another selling point for me. Something I love about it.

Well I normally focus on old field finds that I can snag from private sellers. This one was on consignment in the bay area, owned by a car collector. It was sitting between a bunch of high end vettes and hot rods, kind of a sorry red-headed step child situation. I had to rescue it haha

The engine looks like it was removed, resealed, painted, re-installed, very well done!!!

The dealer that had this, must not be the average ordinary used car dealer!!!

Glad you were able to acquire this!!!

The engine bay, wheels/tires/caps, and bumpers were all tastefully done by the PO to be year correct which I really appreciate.
