Description

Good overall condition, and nice for display. Body retains most of its original lithographing. Shows some moderate scratching and mild loss, along with some moderate scattered oxidation. Side doors are original with a couple of small paint touch ups. Flywheel gear is not catching, mechanism complete just needs some TLC if one wants it to drive.
