In excellent mostly original condition. Garage kept, by the same owner since 1983. Used sparingly getting to work in the same city from time to time. The seats had wool covers installed, and the covers are in very good condition. New tires and oil service performed.
The following condition report, while thorough, is not exhaustive as vintage cars have inherent wear and imperfections. We welcome personal inspections.
Warm-up regulator just replaced; Sony aftermarket stereo and power antenna not operating; cruise control does not function; odometer does not function (owner was unaware); some chipping to paint; minor leaks from engine pan, and transmission pan; no other apparent concerns.
