EXTERIOR PAINT AND TRIMGood condition and complete. This car was a dealer repaint after delivery years ago due to poor factory paint. Over the years this car has been buffed and polished to the point where the finish is mirror-like and the car presents itself very well. There is some subtle paint finish "see through" indicating minor pin-striping bythe original owner. This indetectible, nless pointed out and cannot be seen in a photo. This car has never been in a collision. The bumper fillers have been refinished with the more durable fiberglass replacements. There are a few minor dings and some very small paint bubbling/cracks at inconspicuous points. Pictures in this listing attempt to cover the exterior completely for the benefit of bidders. Given the age of the paint, verall it looks very good; much of it is 8/9 out of 10. However, t is over 25 years old and is not a "perfect 10" . Since "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" , personal inspection can be arranged by calling seller on 410-200-0142. Inspection is recommended prior to bidding if the potential buyer has any question.
