The car has received one repaint over it's lifetime. It currently has what appears to be it's original vinyl interior in good condition. The VIN stamping is clearly visible in left hand fender apron. The car had previous rust repair to it's left lower quarter/trunk drop-off and left floor pan. The car will need minor rust pair to the left lower quarter, wheel lip and convertible reinforcement pan and left front fender. All trouble areas are shown in pictures. There are small signs of surface rust showing in the typical areas but nothing requiring major replacement, all areas shown in pictures.

The car runs and drives out well, the 200 CI, 6 cylinder and automatic transmission are original to the vehicle and run reliably and shifts out well. The rear end is believed to be original to the car. They will need some minor servicing to address typical leaks, etc.
