Picked it up a few days ago its in pretty good shape for its age ..motor mount was not rotted away like most seem to be ..Motor itself is getting a going over new bushings and had the rotor sanded and repainted (waiting for it to get back .

this PDf looks to be a later version of mine, that i assume was never put into production ..the rear door slides up and down instead of open and close . it also has a rear hood . iv wondered if it had any hardware that came with it ...i think it might have had a sash also .
