The Bad -
· Rust- see pictures. Rust in various places all around the car, especially drivers side. And the trunk has a lot of rust.
· Paint is so-so due to rust and age.
· Window and trunk seals leak some when it rains.
· Not the original transmission. The car was born a manual and a previous owner changed it to an automatic.
· Has an AC unit but has never had a belt on it since I have owned it. Have no idea if the AC works. Heater works, but fan only blows at low speed.
· Radio doesn’t work.
· Mufflers and tailpipes hang low. Will scrape going over speedbumps.
· Passenger side door lock can only be locked/unlocked from inside car.
Extras
· Car cover
· Original radio and faceplate. I don’t know if this radio works. Bought it out of a junked car. Faceplate is a new reproduction one.
· Extra oil filters
· And anything else I can find in my garage.
