Undercarriage is also excellent except for the battery pan has acid corrosion and needs to be replaced but the battery box is perfect, excellent original floors, longitudinals, jack spurs all the rear seat area and all 4 closing panels are great.
Body is also excellent with a wonderful body fit and gaps rust free doors etc. all body panels have the matching last 3 digits 336, the front right fender was replaced many years ago from the back of the headlight bucket just at the factory joint to the door. it can be redone to a metal finish or just leave it the way it is if you choose.
Interior looks like it was replaced many years ago but still in great shape and very correct, with all the important component with the car, original "B" steering wheel very rare these days in excellent condition, Blaupunkt radio, gauges, mirrors, visors, knobs, also has some very nice period Coco mats which were very popular in the 80's
