The pan is not detailed but was pressure washed and what remains is some of the original heavy undercoating and very little light surface rust. Solid body and pan. Matching pan and body VIN numbers. The car is not a concour car but driver quality that would definitely do very well in a local car show. Will go down the freeway at 70 MPH with no effort. Great car and ready to cruise to the show!!!

Gas guage is original but not accurate (sending unit is new along with voltage regulator/vibrator) and shows a little over half when full and goes down from there. There are new guages available but wrong face so kept the old. I was told these are one year only speedos and gas guage set ups and wanted to keep original look.

-Two items that are not working. Windshield wipers, anted the no wiper look so did not look into the repair. Plus it hardly ever rains here in Phoenix. Horn is also not working and was not on my priority list. Both would be a fairly cheap fix as these parts are cheap and available from multiple supply houses.
