It will be restored to original, no modern technology will be put into it. Some of the parts (mirrors, back bumper etc) are missing as well as needing a new engine & tranny, but will be replaced with original reproductions or refurbished parts.

It will never be sold, will only be for us to enjoy, and husbands sentimental attachment to it would never let him sell it anyway.
