The car sports an older repaint that still shows well and appears that the interior has been addressed with correct NOS carpeting and NOS seat upholstery at one time and the headliner has been recently replaced on the hard top. The steering wheel, interior panels, dash and gauges remain original to the car. The frame and underbody remain original and exhibit an excellent core structure.
