Especially with specialty vehicles and rare classics, never take Jake for his word. Jake is the seller, not your partner. His job is to get your money in his pocket and his keys in yours. Nothing more.

They never came with wire wheels and they certainly didn’t come with after market wheels and fake wire wheel hub caps. There were no headlamp or turn signal covers from the factory.

Non-factory color. Non-factory side mirrors.
