Body:
All the panels line up well with right gaps all around and no signs of damage or rust. The body looks great with only a few very small imperfections. All the glass looks great without any marks or blemishes. All the bright trims and bumpers are in great condition. The Chrome shows very well without any flaws or dents and mirror finish. I will say this is; "Rust-Free" all of the common places are completely clear of any signs of rust and all the floors are solid and original. No repairs to be found on this car.
Interior:
It's in perfect condition having been recently replaced with all the original coverings and door skins. looks brand new. The dash and instrument panel are all in Tip Top order and condition. The original Stereo is still in place. No modifications to be seen anywhere. All the seats are in perfect condition. All the door-panels are in perfect condition. all armrests and handles (new) are in place and fully functional with ashtrays. Carpet shows up very nice with no marks or signs of age. All the windows operate flawlessly from open to close. I have installed an aftermarket stereo in the glove box and hidden speakers in the boot/backseat.
Engine & Trans:
The 289 V8 block is original and sounds to be nice and tight with a mild cam. Fitted with an Edelbrock intake and 650 Carb. Extractors. Equipped with factory original power steering that operates very well without any play or signs of wear. Motor has recently been tuned after fitting Carb and intake.
This coupe has the Factory 4-Speed Manual Top Loader box in place. Not too many of these with Factory 4-Speed getting around. It has the original and cool curved shifter and lock out reverse. The Top-Loader works a treat; changes nicely without any noises. No leaks and nice clean fluids.
