Interior Notes
The side panel upholstery has been removed and the aluminum upholstery panels have been cleaned, polished, and reinstalled. The original patterns for the headliner are included but not upholstered or installed. Overall interior is utilitarian, not posh. Seats appear to have been reupholstered a few years back and have been rated at 7.5 out of 10.
Exterior Notes
The exterior has more than likely been repainted over the years, but the paint looks to be the original scheme. The paint is serviceable and has been rated at about 7 out of 10.
