Interior Information Exterior Information
INTERIOR CODE:
PAINT CODE:
PAINT NAME:
Black - Not Original
INTERIOR DESCRIPTION:
Blue shadowcloth wool w/cream piping. Except for carpeting and an incorrect cigarette lighter, everything is there. Interior will be good for patterns but everything is fragile and delicate having been exposed to rodents. Places in the upholstery have been eaten away/chewed and badly stained. Headliner is moth and rodent damaged and will need replacement as well as the rear parcel shelf
EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION:
A couple small dents. Rust around body seams and stainless trim. Trunk floor/spare wheel well will need replacement. Rusty rockers will need replacement. Some floorplans may need replacement as well. Chrome trim is damaged in places where prior owners screwed it to the car vs. clipping it with the standard clips. Bumpers are rusty with chrome flaking off and will need rechroming. Much of the trim is pitted and will require rechroming.

VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
The current plan is to make any necessary repairs to restore the engine, drivetrain and electrical components to good running and reliable operating condition. Future plans include a cosmetic restoration with many necessary panel and floor repairs, as well as a repaint in Ivory and a new interior and trunk liner. I will try to avoid a frame-off, if possible!
