BODY
The Body is in VERY GOOD to Excellent condition. The sides have professional paint work that apparently has no appreciable body work. The lids are orignal paint. The paint meter values attest to these assumptions with values on lids at about 4 and sides at about 5-9. There are no dents, dings, or appreciable scratches apparent on any panels. There are a few minor paint touch ups that are difficult to show in pics, but do exist.
ENGINE
The engine runs perfectly as evidenced in the Engine Running video and Cold Start video. There is no appreciable leaks. There is minor "sweating" seen as in all older engines. The car shifts trough all three gears smoothly and accelerates smoothly without hesitation as evidenced in the "Running Video". The idle is extremely smooth. The only negative I have observed is that if the car sits for a while, it takes a bit of cranking and pumping the gas to start. If the car hasn't sat for a while, it starts fairly quickly. I believe this is due to the gas draining from the carburetor into the cylinders if sitting for a long time. I decided not to rebuild the carburetor since the car idles and accelerates very, very smoothly and didn't want to risk losng that. If sitting for a long time, I either crank the engine for a while and pump the gas or prime the carburetor. That was my judgement.
INTERIOR
The interior is in Very Good to Excellent condition. The only defects are some minor wearing on the driver's seat as evidenced in the pics as well as a crack on the center of the dash panel (Body Pic #21). One very small crack is barely evident in the pics on driver's door panel (Int Pic #13). The rugs are in Very Good to Excellent condition as is the steering wheel laminate. The rugs are in original, very good to excellent condition. The car did not come with factory mats. The car comes with excellent, after market mats that match the headliner for driving car. Both Left and Right Power mirrors operate as they should.
ACCESSORIES
All accessories work as they should. The Signal Seeking Radio as well as the Electric Antenna work well as shown in the video. The Windows, 6-way seats, Direcional signals and Horn work well as shown in vidoes. The AC works as shown in the AC video, but sometimes comes through the floor vents.
CHROME
The chrome is in very good to excellent condition with minor pitting barely evident in pics on the door handles and mirrors.
TRUNK
The trunk compartment is in fairly nice shape with no rust on the floor panels (Tnk Pic #31). And weatherstrip watermark is evidence of original factory weatherstrip (Trunk Pics #'s 02, 03, 04, 05 & 07 in link that must be requested by cell).
RECENT MAINTENANCE
Water pump, thermostat, flush coolant system, all hoses, all belts, master cylinder, air cleaner, plugs, re charge AC freon (R134a), pct valve, engine oil and filter. Date code on the four tires is 2016 and there is plenty of tread on them. Full size spare is in the trunk.
DOCUMENTATION
The Title is Free and Clear in my name and it states "ACTUAL MILEAGE" of 60,780 miles.
NEGATIVES
The only negatives I have found on this car are as follows. If the car sits for a while, it has to be cranked for a bit to get gas to the carburetor. The dash has a crack in the center. The vinyl top has a very small cut on the right rear as shown in the pics of the vinyl top (Body Pic #29 in link requested by cell). The undercarriage has surface rust as shown in undercarriage pics, but absolutely NO rust through in the floors and trunk floor (pic #31).
