Overall the sheetmetal is in nice shape except for a few small typical spots. Trunk floor is outstanding and the floors are very nice except for a few small pin holes as seen in the last photo.....

Thanks for taken the time to post. What a cool car! Did you toy at all with leaving it as is, or did it need too much?

Jason,

I suppose the car could have been a time capsule with all of the great day-two items through out. However, the car was repainted once and the underside was painted white (as cool as that was back in the day ).

Glad your enjoying the photos!

Door sills are in incredible condition. The Roofs were obviously careful about not letting the seat belt buckle get closed in the door. Not a ding to be found (that is a tar like substance on the sills in the photos).

[/ QUOTE ]Real nice Sam. Now don't send those door sills out to be polished. Do it yourself and save your money to buy us dinner at the SCR.
