The seller adds that some of the cabin’s plastic trim components have been painted. All of the gauges are reported functional, along with the power windows, and the car has functional air conditioning provided by a Vintage Air aftermarket system. The seller says the car had factory air conditioning and the original components go with the sale.

There has been no recent suspension service, but there are also no known issues or needs. The brake system, however, has had recent service that included replacement of the power booster and master cylinder.

The wheels are said to have been recently painted and fitted with new trim rings, while the tires are reportedly “new,” with “maybe 50 miles” on them.
