All body panels appear to be original and in very good condition. Body is very straight with no waves or dents and sports its original Indigo Blue paintwork. Rust is almost non-existent. There is a small area of pin holes in the trunk floor that could be attended to if you felt compelled and also at the battery tray. Some surface rust on bottoms of rockers and rear fenders but no holes or bondo. Floor and frame are very solid and rust free. The headliner and carpeting had to be removed due to mildew. Seats will need to be recovered. Door panels are nice. Engine is original but does not turn over due to sitting since 1978.

This is a non-operative rolling project car. This vehicle is not eligible for ebay Motor’s vehicle purchase protection plan.
