Interior:The interior is in average shape I'd say but you need to be the judge of that.Car sports the sought after steel dash with toggle switches.Note: Seats are not bolted in place at this time but I drive the car with no issues due to this. Exterior:The car is remarkably straight but does need some restoration but looks fine for a driver.The paint is what I'd call driver quality but that's just my opinion. Car just had a complete new front bumper kit installed along with new rear taillight kits with lens, gaskets, chrome tail light surround bezels, new chrome wiper arms and new chrome wiper blades. Car also comes with aNEW complete 6 piece chrome side molding kit ( I've installed the front fender pieces but the new owner will need to install the other 4 pieces ).Again, like new radial tires. Underbody:I really can't get under the car but from what I see she looks to be about average for a 50 year old car but opinions vary. It appears that the floor pans where replaced but done from the inside. Soft Top:Car comes with a folding soft top frame with a good black soft top attached to it. Car also has a folding top frame and comes with a brand NEW in the boxRED soft top ( Special Ordered From England ). Hard Top:Yes as seen in the photos the car comes with a hard top.
