What the photos show
- black paint is deep and glossy in every exterior shot with straight panels, so no paintwork money is needed on what is shown
- chrome grille, bumpers and window trim are bright and unpitted, so no re-chroming bill is hiding here
- black leather and velour seats front and rear look near-new with no wear or sagging, so no reupholstery money is needed
- dash wood is rich and glossy and the dash top is uncracked, so no dash or wood refinishing is due
- engine bay is clean and orderly with correct air cleaner and tidy wiring, so no detailing or obvious bay work is needed to present it
- Bundt wheels are clean and the car sits level, so no wheel refurb or stance fix is suggested by the photos
- a modern cupholder console sits between the front seats, a small non-original touch that costs little to remove if originality matters
- can't judge the underside — no underside photo is in the set, so floor and rust condition underneath stays unverified
Money: no sale price is recorded, but the photos show a near-show-quality 6.9 inside and out, which supports a strong sale price — only the unseen underside is left to trust.
