It will need tires at some point, that's it. I spent $2500 not long ago getting the carbs rebuilt, fuel filters added, fuel gauge to work and few other things fixed where needed. It does have a couple scratches here and there for my kids when they were little. I also pumped a pole in my garage that protects my water heater and there is a hairline crack in the paint across the nose but it is very hard to notice. All scratches can easily be repaired. It's a head turner and a screamer!

Here is a youtube video of it running https://youtu.be/y57mQtNb4NE
