Notes:
The condition is a low 4 to high 5. The gas tank rotted and the trunk pan is full of holes,
but the floor pans are intact. The driver and passenger windows are cracked. I ran the
engine when I got it and it ran great. I took the intake manifold off to clean it up and to
fix the distributor. I have the new gaskets, fuel pump, distributor, wheel cylinders, timing
chain and gears, and some rubber brake lines. The interior looks to be original with replaced
carpet. Every emblem and moulding is there and is complete.
When I ran the car the A/C worked as did the radio. The frame needs to be addressed as there
are some holes in it. The inside of the quarter panels and trunk are excellent with no rust. The
dash is excellent as well. The chrome needs refreshing but is straight. Virtually no dings
in the doors or mouldings. Driver's door has small dent at back edge. Stainless trim is nearly
ding-free except the left quarter trim has been bent near the door. I do have a replacment for one
of them (original).
