EXTERIOR:
THE BODY, FLOOR PANS, BONNETT, ETC. ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS CAR HAS VERY MINIMAL RUST. THE PANELS LINE UP WELL. THE PAINT IS IN A DRIVER'S QUALITY CONDITION. THERE ARE A FEW CHIPS HERE AND THERE. IT NEEDS A GOOD BUFFING AND WAX. THE CHROME PIECES HAVE SOME LIGHT PITTING. THERE IS A CRACK IN THE REAR GLASS.

INTERIOR:
THE ORIGINAL LEATHER IS IN NICE CONDITION. IT IS A LITTLE DRY AT SOME PLACES AND HAVE SOME LIGHT CRACKS SPECIALLY ON THE FRONT SEATS. THE DOOR PANELS, CARPETS, CARGO AREA PANELS, AND HEADLINER ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. THE VISORS ARE MISSING BUT I HAVE THE HARDWARE. THE CHROME WIRE WHEELS ARE NICE BUT HAVE SOME SMALL PITTING. THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.

MECHANICALS:
THE ENGINE RUNS EXCELLENT. IT HAS GOOD OIL PRESSURE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS INSTALLED SOME ELECTRIC FANS THAT ARE RUNNING ALL THE TIME. THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINS ON, HOWEVER WE MOVE IT FORWARD AND BACKWARD AND THE PEDAL SEEMS TO HAVE PRESSURE AND THE CAR STOPS. THE HANDBRAKE IS NOT WORKING. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BUT HAS A LEAK. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED RIGHT OF WAY.

ELECTRICALS:
THE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, GAUGES, ETC. WORK PROPERLY. THE HORN DOES NOT WORK.
