Paint - Car had been repainted prior to this owner. It is a smooth and shiny professional repaint with a few imperfections. but it has held up very well. You will appreciate the thorough attention to detail . Paint matches very well on all panels. Roof and upper quarter panel on the left side ( between the left rear window and rear window) has a few spots where is has slightly bubbled . Minor nicks on front of hood. (See pictures) also you will notice a little rain drizzle in pictures. Light cracking in front of the left front tire and a couple other nicks you will see in the pictures on the door back edge area.

Body- Very nicely done. Straight and correct much as car would have been new. I didn't see any dents or dimples that appear incorrect. The gaps all look fairly uniform. Being extremely critical. the hood could be adjusted a little bit to the left. The hood locks are not functioning at this time. In going over the car with random magnet samplings with a paint gage. It would appear to be all steel and correct with some minor repairs. In some of the door and lip areas that are common.

Bright work- All seems to be secured properly and in very nice condition with very little wear showing. The stainless around window areas are nicely polished with a few light scratches and a little indentation. (See pictures). Front and rear bumpers show no damage. with fairly newer chrome that's shows barely any wear at all. (Close look at pictures you will notice light rain drops. )

Glass- Glass over all is in very nice condition with very little age showing. Side glass doesn't have any noticeable scratches from the running the windows up and down. All windows except the windshield do have the “carlite” emblem on them and windshield is a LOF. (Libby Owens Ford)

Interior- The interior is cloth with vinyl. . If you look closely at the pictures you will see that the gages and dash have all held up very well . You will see a piece of velcro on the right passenger floor area in picture. This was for the fire extinguisher which the owner removed. Carpet is older but has not lost color thought they do tend to fade typically more near the rear window. The headliner is good and solid. Thought it does have a wrinkle in the rear area typically do to the sun. mostly around the rear window. The locking mechanism for the fold down seat does work correctly but the knob is partially broken. The sun visors are good and solid.

Trunk- appears neat and has been painted underneath but does have a slight dampness. (Car had been just washed) Trunk may need an adjustment or a seal replaced but the water leak is very minimal. The repaint in trunk is gray with nice matching mat and spare. The parts that you do see in the pictures do come with the car. The trophies are to show that it has won at car shows. Which they may or may not be available from the owner.

Tires and wheels- Tires are performer GT radials in the rears. and the fronts are called performance/ radials? GT. Fronts are 235 60 15's. The rears are 255 60 15's. The wheels are called progressive costume wheels and they are a five spoke design matching all the way around. They have a nice shiny flat they due show some wear and spotting which may or may not be removed with cleaner. Wheels are a locking style with allan wrench. They right rear in the area of 6/ 32 seconds and the left rear having 9/32 seconds and both fronts having about 8/32 on them. Do not see any age cracks around the outside of the tires. Also do not notice and type of curb damage on any tires or wheels.

Engine Transmission- It does have installed hood locks. which where popular and functional in those days. Looking at engine compartment area windshield washers are not connected which is common on show cars. (Look closely at photos for your own evaluations. You will notice an after market distributor cap and cable wires as well a Dura last gold battery. After market chrome air cleaner and possibly a carburetor change (items located in trunk). The white block that is behind the air cleaner which I do not believe is a factory item. Looks and appears mostly as it was designed when it was new. No other drastic alterations.

Underside and chassis - Bottom side has been left very natural has not been painted or rust proofed over top in resent years. This leaves it easy to inspect it. It appears to be nice a solid and do not see any rust perforation. Pay close attention too the pictures of wheel wells body where front tires and where rear tires kicked water on to it which are rust toned? The sub frame floor plan (pan? Plan/) look very close at all pictures you can see how nice and solid it is. Front suspenation stablerizer links are not to recently replaced the inspection cover that's cover the converter is missing. Notice some sipig out of the power steering box. The back of transmission appears to be nice and dry. The rear end does have a slight dampness to it. Dual exhaust complete from front to back with just a connecting pipe behind the transmission. Other than that looks very natural. Note we did not try the parking break thought it looks all hooked up. Nobody knows the last time it has been used. so cant say for sure if it is in working order. Photos will be very helpful in showing what car has to offer.

Mechanical -. Tail light and break lights work left and right rears blinkers work and back up lights and markers work. High beams work and all low beams work including all front markers. Marker light on the right front needs fixed. The clock. horn. and windshield washers are not working.

. Mechanical- The owner explained that the oil has always been changed yearly and any needed repairs performed. lights switches work. windshield wipers work on low and high beam. Notice when idling the oil gage is about ¾ toward high showing a slight charging. The temperature is in the middle of the operation area. Does appear to have all fan speeds working correctly and the cold to warm temp lever working correctly. (Little sticky) Working when directed in the defrost area as it should. Am/fm radio both work. including the cassette tape. Clock is not working which most don't. Lever appears to be working for floor vents. (The current owner did change the carburetor)

Test drive- Car accelerated and decelerated fine. The engine seems to operating properly. In hearing the exhaust noise there is an exhaust leak from the inside. Powering steering appears to work correctly. Upon stopping I didn't not notice any pulsations or pulling of the brakes. The transmission and drive train seems to be operating as it was designed. Owner stated they always used 92 octane and above.
