Description:
|
Ratty as hell 1959 euro rag,bought from a friend who found it in a field. Floors are gone (like most ragtops or verts) but amazingly has most of its original parts,including its original handles,ignition switch,locking T-handle AND its original key! The only incorrect parts are the passenger door and front fender. Its OG color is Mignionette green,but for now it shows its beautiful patina.
