The body had no rot or major damage, nly minor surface imperfections. Never hit or in an accident. It was then stripped down to bare metal and resprayed with single stage paint. Not the original color. The trunk still has the original color and under the carpet there is still factory markings, inda cool. The pan is not detailed but was pressure washed and what remains is some of the original heavy undercoating and very little light surface rust. Solid body and pan. Matching pan and body VIN numbers. The car is not a concour car but driver quality that would definitely do very well in a local car show. Will go down the freeway at 70 MPH with no effort.

Speedometer was restored at time of restoration and miles set to zero. It is slightly off on the MPH due to the different sized tires (roughly 5 MPH). Gas guage is original but not accurate (sending unit is new along with voltage regulator/vibrator) and shows a little over half when full and goes down from there. There are new guages available but wrong face so kept the old.
