I'll get some more pics Friday we're gonna change the fuel pump and rebuild the carb. Well someone else is cause iunno **** about carbs just how to take them off n put them back on. As far as gaskets go the water pump is leaking a bit and so is the OSU other than that no major leaks.

They definitely WS6 wheels.
The sunburst was more gold, than brown.
The bird on the hood looks to be in good shape

I hope it is a true 40 mile car. If it is, stop driving it.
But what I meant earlier is that the mechanical odometers only went to 99,999 miles and then rolled over to 000000. No tampering involved.

I had an 81 Midnight Blue and Buckskin interior. Wish I'd never sold it.

I'm 100% it's truly a 46 mile car and not 100,046. It has some issues on the interior like some trim pieces are gone, but like I said 99% of the car is there just some random pieces. If I can snap a pic of the underside you will definitely believe the 46 miles.

File for a lost title and be done with it... If it's really 46 miles spend the money and fix it right..

The car looks great for the age.

Agree- do more research- check title history etc...

If it is a true 40 mile car then the right person and offer will be waiting.

Don't mess up any originality by cleaning
