THE BODY AND PAINT ON THE CAR IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION WITH ONE MINOR IMPERFECTION IN THE FRONT BUMPER MOLD THAT YOU WILL SEE ILLUSTRATED IN PHOTOS AND THE YOUTUBE WALK AROUND THAT I HAVE PREPARED. THE CARPET WAS REPLACED RECENTLY OTHER THAN THAT THE INTERIOROF THE CAR IS ALL ORIGINAL AND IN BEAUTIFULCONDITION AS WELL AND SHOWS GREAT FOR ITS AGE. CAR COMES WITH BOTH SETS OF T-TOPS THE MIRRORED AND THE PAINTED T-TOPS. THE MOTOR IN THE CAR WAS INSTALLED IN 2014 AND WAS PUT IN STORAGE IN 2015 DUE TO HEALTH REASONS. THIS SUMMER I PUT BRAND NEW OVERSIZED TIRES, NEW BATTERY AND FLUIDS AND SHE STARTED RIGHT UP. THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE CALIPER WAS LEAKING SO I HAD IT REPLACED WITH AN ORIGINAL DELCO. THE MECHANIC THAT DID THE JOB DID NOT BLEED THE BRAKES THAT WELL SO I WOULD RECOMMENDHAVING THEMRE-BLEED BUT IS COMPLETELYDRIVABLE.
