Interior Notes
I give the interior a 7. The front seats are showing wear. The carpet and side panels are in good shape. The intercom for the rear seats are inside the ashtrays.
Exterior Notes
I'm guessing on the paint date. Its Grand Dad Green almost Seahawk colors. The clear coat has been peeling off for the last few years. It is what it is.
