As to be expected, some things exceed expectations, others not so.
The car looks nice. The blue is closer to Strato Blue than the pics on eBay made it look, which makes me happy!
The doors close about the same as on my '63, except they don't fit up as tight against the car.
Driving the car, made me realize the two things that I think need the most attention.
The seller told me he put wheel cylinders on it, but it pulls drastically to the right when you brake.
Also, there is no power steering, but out on the road, there is a lot more play in the steering than I'm used to on my other Daytona.
There is a small hole in the left rear quarter under the taillight, which the seller didn't mention. I saw it when it was up on trailer; could be he never saw it.
I don't think I stole it, but I think overall I did OK at $4,200.
I wish I could post pictures!
