(Good)
We are aware it had been sitting for a few years however started right up with a freshbattery. This ride runs, rives and stops, his classic (although ugly) would make easyrestoration or a cool lead sled. There is no obvious rust and the interior is very clean. The circles on the front seats are designs, ot mold spots.
The trunk is clean and the car appears complete. Although not mint condition; it will clean-up very nice and can be driven the way it is.
We would not be concerned to take the ride cross country, lthough a fresh set of tireslikely would be a good idea before a long road trip.
The vintage dash is interesting as there is no cracking on the dash board and the radioworks well; however you have to wait for the tubes to warm up.
(Not so Good)
We noted some small tears in the headliner; however is in overall good shape for itsage. There are also two spots on the rear vinyl top below the rear window, here someseparation has occurred from stretching. These can be seen in the photos.
There is only one small area on the driver seat that shows a rub mark from the shoulderbelt, ther than that the 70s interior upholstery is surprisingly nice.
