The car runs and drives and the overdrive does work. The engines sounds good
and the brakes are good. The speedometer works and so do some of the idiot
lights. The heater fan and the heater still work. The radio works when
it wants to. The wipers do not work.
It is missing chrome on both sides and the right headlight bezel is missing as is one
light. The floor pans will need to be replaced. The right rocker panel is
very rusty and there is rust in the lower front fenders and doors. There is minor
rust in the rear fender wells. Both right and rear driver's side windows are
cracked, all the rest of the glass appears to be good. There is some rust around
the rear window. The chrome bezels are pitted. The right side tail light
is included and so are the four original hubcaps. The interior is okay but needs
work. It will need tires.
