Description from the seller
GENERAL:
This vehicle is a well-maintained classic, imported from the United States in 2021. Since its arrival in Europe, it has undergone careful cosmetic and technical preparation to ensure excellent overall condition. The car presents very well both visually and mechanically, making it suitable for collectors or enthusiasts looking for a ready-to-drive example. It has been regularly checked and maintained, with attention given to both reliability and originality. The vehicle is currently located in Tallinn, Estonia, and is ready for a new owner.
BODYWORK & PAINTWORK:
The bodywork is in excellent condition with no visible rust, scratches, or paint chips. At the time of import, there were minor areas affected by rust, but these were professionally treated during repainting. All affected sections were properly restored, treated with anti-corrosion products, and refinished to a high standard. The paintwork is now even and clean across the entire vehicle.
Rubber seals have been replaced where necessary, while the remaining seals are in good condition. The chrome elements, including the bumpers, have been polished and are in very good condition with a bright finish. There is no need for further welding; previous minor welding work was carried out only on the exhaust system, where some sections were repaired or replaced. Overall, the exterior reflects a well-cared-for and solid car.
TECHNICAL:
Technically, the car is fully functional and ready for immediate use. The engine starts reliably both when cold and warm, indicating good mechanical health. There are no oil leaks from the engine or transmission. The gearbox operates smoothly, with proper shifting through all gears.
Key components such as brakes, suspension, tires, and clutch have all been inspected and serviced as needed. Any worn parts were replaced to ensure safe and reliable driving. The vehicle successfully passed its technical inspection in March and is valid for one year. Overall, no immediate mechanical work is required.
INTERIOR:
The interior remains largely original and is in very good condition. The seats are upholstered in leather, with only the driver’s seat having been reupholstered; the rest remain original. The headliner is black, in excellent condition, and does not sag or require replacement.
All interior components function properly, including the antenna, windows, and electrical systems. A modern radio has been installed, allowing USB connectivity, while maintaining a clean look inside the cabin. The overall interior condition reflects careful ownership and preservation.
DOCUMENTS:
The car comes with its current registration documents and proof of import from the United States in 2021. Any available service records and documentation can be provided. Buyers are advised that personal information such as addresses and phone numbers will be concealed in shared documents for privacy reasons. Additional documentation, invoices, or history (if available) can be shown upon request.
PICKUP:
The vehicle is available for pickup in Tallinn, Estonia. The buyer is responsible for transport or collection arrangements. Assistance can be provided if needed to facilitate pickup or shipping.
OTHER INFORMATION:
There is minor damage on the windshield, which has been professionally repaired by Carglass. This does not affect visibility or usability. The car presents as a solid, rust-free example with strong technical condition and a clean interior.
Overall, this is a well-prepared vehicle with no immediate needs, suitable for both driving and collection purposes. The detailed condition and transparency in this description aim to provide confidence to potential bidders.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
