POWER WINDOWS DO NOT WORK, NOT SURE NOR HAVE TESTED TO SEE IF MOTORS OR JUST FUSES YET.. HEADLINER IN GREAT SHAPE, THE ONLY TEARS OR RIPS ARE THE SPOTS ON THE DOOR PANELS THAT ARE TORE THRU, THE REST OF THE INTERIOR LOOKS AMAZING, ESPCIALLY FOR A CAR THIS OLD!!! DASH HAS SOME SMALL CRACKS OF COURSE..
FLOOR PANELS, AS YOU CAN SEE IN HTE PICS WERE RUSTED OUT, LOOKS LIKE HE PUT SOME NEW PANELS IN AND HAD EM SPOT WELDED IN PLACE. BLACK SHAGGY CARPET LAID OVER IT, DONT BELEAVE THE ORIG CARPET .
DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE GOOD, HANDLES WORK, LIL POP OUT TRIANGLE WINDOW BOTH OPE NAND CLOSE GOOD.

SOME YELLOW SPLOTCHES COMING THRU ON THE REAR BUMPER AND TRUNK, NOT RUST, GUESSING JUST WHERE PEARL BLEEDING OR SEALER DIDNT SEAL GOOD ENOUGH. BUT STNAD BACK IN SUN 5 FEET, AGAIN LOOKS AMAZING, SHINNY AND SO BRIGHT HARD TO LOOK AT IN HTE DIRECT SUNLIGHTS!! BUFF IT OUT AND LET IT ROLL..
ATTACHED ARE PICS ON UNDERCARRIAGE ,SEEM TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE EXCEPT THE PANS HE WELDED IN AND THERE IS RUST ON TRUNK LID AND IN THE TRUNK A FEW HOLES THAT STILL NEED TO BE FIXED. NO TRUNK LOCK, BUT EASY POP WITH SCREW DRIVER.
