Current owner has owned car since 2014, when he promptly began a restoration to include media blasting the entire body to bare metal. No rust was found, and the trim was removed to perform a correct repaint. The original Rally style wheels were removed and replaced with polished Weld Pro Stars in 15"x8", with Cooper Cobra 235/60R15 radial tires. The original wheels with tires are included. The interior was refitted with correct seat covers, visors, and headliner in Burgundy. The owner stated that the seats had such high sides, that it tried to remove your pants exiting the car. It was corrected by adding cushion to the middle section of each front seat. All of the trunk/door seals were replaced as well as the window wipes for each door. An Alpine stereo with bluetooth was added, with the original AC Delco stereo working and included.

In addition to a repaint and interior refresh, mechanically this car has been well sorted; all new brakes fitted front and rear, makes this car stop well and straight; the A/C has been upgraded to R-134 with all new components, as well as a heater core; clean Carfax; everything works.

Much of the suspension appears to be original and in pretty good condition considering age; bushings are intact, as well as grease boots; some overspray to lenses in front bumper; some surface rust present on frame and undercarriage, normal for age with no attempt to cover it; only the rocker were painted black, as they are visible from side; no apparent concerns.
