The original body is superb being very solid with excellent panel fit. The car has never been hit. The doors shut beautifully, the gaps are fantastic. The mouth and belly pan of the bonnet are completely unmolested as is the rear and the trunk floor. The chrome is in great shape as is all the glass. The engine runs and has excellent oil pressure but the carburetors are leaking from sitting and there are leaks in the exhaust. The car does not drive.
