Re: [AMC-List] AMCer's Opinions: Survivor/Vintage vs. Restored

With that mileage I would leave it in unrestored condition.
But, thats just me. Even with only 32,000 on it if you tear into it to detail you may be heading down a long road as it tends to lead to the ,"Oh while I'm in here" Syndrome. :]
