Great driving car in original unrestored condition. The body is completely rust free. The only defects on the outside are a few small door dings on the lower part of the passenger front door and on the trim. There are a few rock chips that have been touched up. The chrome is in fantastic condition as are the bumpers. The interior carpet and seats are free of tears and show little wear and are still soft. The original radio works as do the lights and all the gauges. The heater and air controls all function. It is a very comfortable ride. The wood on the dash on the right side is peeling and needs reworking. The sun visors also could use replacement but otherwise the interior shows quite well.
