From all her travels she has small chips in paint, nicks in upholstery, but one of the strongest mechanically running cars out there. You will not be disappointed in reliability and still a very presentable example. Pictures do not due her justice! She is not without trophy`s.When restored everything was updated or rebuilt or rechromed, or replaced with new as needed.Here is the list of her attributes:Body and frame down to bare metal, painted in off white, crème color, frame black. Parts were resprayed by body shop after loosing a wheel second year after restoration. Picture of left tail light and boot show bad body fit by body shop. Boot gasket is wearing also, most all paint chips have been touched up, very minor. After viewing my pictures saw the holes in cross brace under the boot, did not know they were there. They were not there after restoration, find it hard to believe they rusted threw. I don`t know for a fact but I think they happened from our accident and were not repaired. Lesson learned, check your car well before signing off on a repair job.
