Problems (see pictures)

Needs an AC compressor- AC worked fine last summer.

The wood trim on the doors under the functioning wing windows needs to be refinished.

The lacquer paint job is alligatoring in several areas.

There are a number of scratches that might be buffable to the paint on the driver's side that will need to be addressed and one very small dent that is covered up with polishing marks on the driver's door, but should be an easy fix.

The hood has several very small rust issues at the front lip the most dramatic of which is a single hole that measures about 1/4" x 1/8".

Small tear, an L-shaped flap that only measures about 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"in the driver's seat.

Small ding that measures about 4" x 1/4"near the trunk keyhole.

Pitting on the two small chrome pieces around the brake lights.

VERY strong. VERY fast. VERY dependable.

This car is in great running condition-and does well on long trips.
