Condition:
Drives, but needs restoration
Originality:
Stock, with some updated parts
Accessories included:
Teletouch Automatic Transmission, Radio (non-working), Power Steering, Power Brakes,
Wheel Covers with Spinner, Two-tone Paint, Electric Clock
Notes:
The car is sound and in good shape. The E-400 starts on the first try,
Teletouch functions, but the neutral position needs alignment. The interior is in
good condition with good seats, carpet and original dash. The suspension and rear
end all seem to be in good working order. The electrical system is also sound.
The finish on the vehicle is fair but does have minor imperfections. The paint is
not an exact match to the original but it is very close. The paint shows some spots
in need of repair also with some minor chipping. The right driver door needs some
bump work. Some on the rubber doors seals need replacement, but there is no
noticeable rust on the undercarriage or on the body. The stainless steel and chrome
are in good condition. The floors are solid and tires have little wear. The
windshield does have a crack but it does not obstruct your view, and the left rear door
window is cracked but functional.

The finish on the vehicle is good but does have imperfections as most vehicles of
this age do, chips, etc... The paint is not an exact match with the original but it
is very close. The paint shows some spots in need of repair where there was either too
much paint applied or not enough applied. There are minor spots of overspray that should
be easily cleaned up and some on some rubber etc.. That will not be so easy to clean up.
The vehicle does not have any rust on the undercarriage or on the body. Some of the
stainless still needs to be worked though. The floors are solid and the tires are
newer as well.
