Notes:
The body and the interior appear to be original.  I have no idea if the engine is original.  It runs good but needs a lot of restoration.

The car runs and drives and the overdrive does work.  The engines sounds good and the brakes are good.  The speedometer works and so do some of the idiot lights.  The heater fan and the heater still work.  The radio works when it wants to.  The wipers do not work.

It is missing chrome on both sides and the right headlight bezel is missing as is one light.  The floor pans will need to be replaced.  The right rocker panel is very rusty and there is rust in the lower front fenders and doors.  There is minor rust in the rear fender wells.  Both right and rear driver's side windows are cracked, all the rest of the glass appears to be good.  There is some rust around the rear window.  The chrome bezels are pitted.  The right side tail light is included and so are the four original hubcaps.  The interior is okay but needs work.  It will need tires.
