I know it was painted at some point and the number 1 you see on the side is a removable tape like material not paint and I know it originally had the number eight and some additional writing on the front. The body is in remarkable condition for it's age in my opinion. The gear shift is a replacement but cool.
The rear tires are cracked and are only good for display not riding on. Front tires good rubber maybe replaced? Looks like a screw or nut may have been replaced here and there. Not being an expert I have done my best to describe it.I will be happy to drop off anywhere within 20 miles of Turlock Ca.
