Vehicle Description HOW IS THE TITLE? Clear, good Tennessee title.
HEAD LIGHTS WORK! TAIL LIGHTS WORK! TURN SIGNALS WORK! HORN WORKS! WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK! ADDED TEMP GAUGE WORKS! GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING! SPEEDOMETER WORKS!
HOW IS THE BODY AS FAR AS RUST? I consider it a very good body, all the panels look original to me. Floors and frame are very solid.
HOW IS THE PAINT? I consider it nice upper end driver quality. The shine is very good, it has fine metallic. Never buffed or rubbed since painted, it has some dust specs. Very straight down the sides, I see no dents or dings, some touched up chips on the edges where the hood meets. The hood folds from the side, each side.
HOW IS THE INTERIOR? Looks good everywhere to me.
HOW IS THE CHROME? Stainless on the sides and around the windows shines good, but has some tiny Pitts, bumpers good, bumper guard upper arms are pitted and have some scuffs, left headlight ring is dull, gas cover trim dull, other decent used condition.
HOW IS THE GLASS? Its all nice, no cracks, no milky spots.
HOW ARE THE TIRES? Very good tread left and not dry rotted.
HOW DOES THE ENGINE RUNS? Sweet running inline, overhead valve 8 cylinder. I see no blue smoke, it starts good, it does leave drops on a clean floor. I hear no knocks or pings, to me it runs strong.
HOW DOES THE CAR DRIVE? It is easy to steer and floats on the road.
HOW DOES THE CAR STOP? To me very good for drum brakes.
WHERE IS THE CAR LOCACTED? Athens, Tennessee 37303.
