Cragers have some pitting but still look good. White roof paint is in excellent condition. This is a great cruiser, sounds fantastic and has power to burn when/if you need it. Sound deadener on floors and inner door panels. Needs door card vinyl completed, I have the vinyl. Personalised Plates not included but can be negotiated. All certified as per plate I've had the car 7 years now, always garaged. I now have my eye on another vehicle, so this needs to go first (so says the Wife)
