Greeting from the Netherlands!

That car of yours looks incredibly well preserved! Has it been restored before? If not, I have to wonder where it's been all these years to stay in such good shape.

Thanks! It's lived its previous life in sunny california with, as far as we know, its first or second owner. He has always taken good care of the car, both inside and outside. Fitting the age of the car, some components have been restored or replaced during its 51-year life but paint, engine and driving/braking setup is in mint condition. There is always something to work on, but the basics are in excellent condition.

Under the hood is a 318cui, mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. So in origin its not built for racing but more for cruising around. A nice car to enter the classics-scene with, so I would think.
