Three owners, and current owner has had the car since 1983. 24,604 original miles documented by title history and previous owners’ signed statements. All components on the car are believed to be factory original, with the exception of tires, brakes, master cylinder, battery, fluids, air filter, two belts, and accelerator rod. April 6,1968 scheduled build date. Always adult owned. Always properly stored and maintained. Original docs include Protect-O-Plate, and original owner’s package from Bernard Chevy-Olds Inc., Libertyville, IL. Dealership is still open, doing business as Libertyville Chevrolet Inc.
