There were only about 4,500 of these built in Lansing Michigan and not many left especially in this condition. This is an exceptional car and is certainly one of the few left. Since partial restoration, car has been appraised at 5,000.00 for insurance purposes, which is based on money spent and not the actual retail value. With over 0,000.00 in work done to the vehicle, it makes it a one of a kind classic vehicle in superb condition.
If you are seeking a mid-60's full-size GM luxury sedan to add to... or complete your collection... or just a wonderful family car to go out cruising in... you have found the perfect car!
