Current condition photos

The exterior (still dirty from the cross-country haul). There's a fair bit of rust here and there; patches mainly. No holes. Some small bits of body damage - the worst is just behind the front driver's side wheel, and that's not really bad. Some of the trim along the bottom is missing or simply too mangled. All of the glass (with the possible exception of the windshield) is original. All the head/taillights are in good shape, except for one on each end.

The interior. The seats aren't in good shape. The driver's seat has a huge chunk out of it, and the leather overall is pretty rough. There is a lot of wood trim inside this car - and the vast majority of it is still in good shape. The worst is one piece on the very left end, where a round air vent is - the wood is disintegrating there. This will likely be the most difficult piece to replace.









This looks worse than it is. The starter switch itself apparently quit working - so my cousin took part of the wood dashboard out (the piece that fit around the steering column) and patched in a new switch (which can be seen, bottom right, hanging down with the key danging) in order to start the car.






The steering wheel also has many cracks and will need replacing.

The engine. In many ways, this is the part of the car that's in the best condition. Inline 6-cylinder. I believe this particular model could crank out a whle 105 HP when it was new!
