Engine & Transmission: The mechanics on this car are very well sorted. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and the gas powered (not diesel) engine starts immediately and runs strong.

The underside is solid and untampered and the Toyo Eclipse Tires have great tread on them.

Interior: The beautiful interior is like a 1978 time capsule and is in very nice condition. No tears in the seats, the headliner is mint, carpets are preserved and clean.
