Condition Report
ENGINE: Runs on all eight cylinders without smoking, missing or knocking. Engine runs at proper temperature. Good battery & charging system. Starts easy and runs strong.
TRANSMISSION: Performs beautifully. Engages gears quickly and shifts through all forward gears and reverse with good downshift and torque converter performance. Clean fluid with no burn odors.
EXTERIOR: Body: Body is in great shape with maybe one door ding on the whole car. No collision damage or repair - all original. No body rust. Paint: Paint is all original and showing age on top in the form of tiny cracks as is common on this era GM metallic paint. Other: All glass is good. Undercarriage is super solid, underhood sheet metal, trunk sill and door jambs have no rust as seen in pics. Hubcaps are perfect - no curb rash.Chrome bumpers are shiny and rust-free, as are the mirrors and door handles. There are a few small dings on the bright trim low on the driver's door.
INTERIOR: Interior of the car is incredible. Dash has no cracks and is still shiny. Cloth seating areas are in great shape with no rips or tears or wear. Carpet is fantastic - no wear or soil. Headliner is super nice - no sags or tears. Steering wheel is not cracked or peeling and the horn buttons are nice. Door panels are nearly perfect (tiny tear on driver's door vinyl). Trunk is nice and clean and has original mat, spare, and jack. Very nice interior overall.
ELECTRICAL STUFF: All inspection items work (lights, horn, wipers, etc.) The power windows, power locks, power driver's seat, hot heat and cold A/C, tilt, am/fm stereo cassette, intermittent wipers, and rear defroster all work. The power antenna does not work. The cruise works when it wants to - you have to hit the switch just right.
DRIVEABILITY: Drives out beautifully as you would expect of a 32k mile car. Steering is tight, alignment is dead on, suspension is tight for a car this size. Brakes work well with good linings. Tires have about 95% tread remaining on a matched set of GoodYear whitewall radials. Solid exhaust, no leaks or noise. Check engine light is not lit (except at start up as it should.) No complaints - drive anywhere.
