Detailed description: (I'll start from the front to back.)

The chrome on the front bumper is decent, buthas some bad spots.

The grill is the same. Some fading and bad spots.

Hood ornament is good with new reproduction clear plastic piece on top.

The engine is a 216 cubic inchinline 6 cylinder. The code is KAA which is a 1952. So it's not the original 216. It runs strong, but leaks a little bit of oil from the crankcase vent tube after shutting it off (that's normal). I've driven this car over 150 miles from hometo a show with no worries.

The transmission is a rebuilt 200-4R. I installed a B&M Converter Lock Up Control Box under the dash.

Overall the paint is pretty good. No dents in the bodyand itshines up well. A few touched up spots here and there from normal wear. This it the paint that was on it when I bought it.

Frame is excellent with no rust. It has been coated with undercoating at some point. Based on the frame and exterior paint, I'm guessing it had a frame off restoration sometimein the 90's.

Glass is excellent with no cracks or chips.

All trim is there. The stainless steel trim is invery good condition. The chrome (door handles, mirrors, etc) have some pitting and blemishes, but in overall good condition.

The dash is painted to match the exterior and looks great. The clock does not work. The speedometer does not work. (I've been using a GPS unit for a speedometer. I'll throw that in with the car). The fuel gauge, volt meter, temperature, and oil pressure gauges all work great. The steering wheel is in great condition. I've installed a horn switch under the dash. I've replaced the floor starter switch with an switch on the dash.

All of the dash lights work. The dome light works with drivers door switch, or you can use a switch that I installed under the dash if you need light when the door is closed.

The halogen headlights, taillights, brake lights, parking lights, and turn signals work great.

When I did the 12 volt conversion I ripped out all of the old wiring and replaced everything with the proper gauge wiring for the amp draw. I used a Painless Wiring fuse box and isolated individual circuits. All connections are soldered and double heat shrink wrapped.

I replaced the original radio and speaker with a Retro Sound Digital AM/FM radio that looks great in the dash.

The seats appear to be the original seats, but have been recovered (before I bought it). The headliner is in good condition. Overall the interior is decent, but you won't win any awards for it. I installed seat belts for the front seat driver and passenger.

The trunk is clean and large enough to fit a small family inside.

The rear bumper is the same as the front. Could use new chrome, but not terrible.

With the exception of the custom exhaust, I've done all of this work myself. And if you look at the updates I've done, you'll see that I don't do things half-assed. This car is ready for a new front end kitand a small block Chevy...or just drive it how it is. It sounds great with the glass packs and dual tips. No one will know that it doesn't have a small block if you don't open the hood.I've just lost interest, time, and room to store it.
