HOW IS THE PAINT? The color is fiesta red, it shines very good, I see no dents or dings and no rust bubbles. The car is straight down the sides. I do see a few touched chips, mostly on the edges. The top paint is very good, it does need to be buffed, it has some orange peel because it has never been buffed.
HOW IS THE BODY RUST WISE? All the panels look original to me. No holes on the bottom, it does have the original under coating like we used in the day. Frame looks real solid, rockers look good. The bottom is not sanded and detailed for show, its just a dirty old classic car on the bottom.
HOW IS THE INTERIOR? Not new, but usable, carpet good, dash coving good, seat cover has a couple of defects if you look close, headliner old with a patch, but usable.
HOW IS THE CHROME? Bumper chrome looks good, the bumpers are some kind of after market that fit real good. Door handles great, grill good, tail light bezels very nice, emblems decent.
HOW IS THE CONVERTIBLE TOP? Its a after market, the material still feels soft and the frame looks good. The material looks like the original type, but the frame is different. You store it behind the seat and set it on.
HOW IS THE GLASS? No cracks, windshield good other than a stone mark in the center lower. Drivers window needs work, it rolls up and down, but because of regulator wear it will not roll up 100%. You can pull it up the last little bit, it needs a new regulator and probably some other parts. Its usable, but not 100%
HOW IS THE ENGINE? A very good running V8 Y block, I think its a 312 and original. I see no smoke and no bad leaks. The oil pressure is good and the anti-freeze clean.
HOW IS THE TRANSMISSION? 3 speed manual, that shifts OK.
HOW ARE THE BRAKES? Decent for old school drum brakes.
HOW DOES THE CAR DRIVE? Good to me for the day.
HOW ARE THE TIRES? Good tread wear left and I didn"t see cracks. They are bias belted, so they don"t ride as smooth as todays radials.
HOW IS THE WEATHER STRIPPING? I have the 2 pieces that go above the door side windows. Some of the other has paint on it and is getting dry. The top needs to come off, new weather stripping added front and rear and the rear latches cleaned and lubes.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING? Its still the old vacuum style. Electric motor kits are available.
WILL YOU COME DOWN ON THE PRICE? No! No! No! I had it priced higher and was playing the bargain game. Its priced at the lowest I will take, I will not come down or trade for anything. It is priced very good! $20,400 is my lowest price, it would be higher if the car did not need a few things. Paint is good, engine good, transmission good, most things work! Thank you, Ron Watson
