The undercarriage is in great condition, free of rust or patches. The body seams and joints are in perfect shape, you can still see the factory numbers stamped. The paint, was originally ''Sunlit Gold'', but it was completely repainted Silver approximately 20 years ago. It still looks very nice and it is in decent condition. It not not a showroom quality paint, it has some chips (touched up) here and there, but there are no rust bubbles. The aluminum trims around the car are in perfect shape. The bumpers are original and unrestored, they show a little bit pitting, as any 53years old bumper would, but they still shine very nice. The Windshield is new, back glass and passenger side glass are nice and the driver side glass has some scratched.
