The carpet is in excellent shape, free of stains or damage. The chrome and brightwork inside the car are in great condition, adding to the luxurious feel of the cabin. The dashboard is free from cracks, fading, or sun damage, and the original AM radio still works perfectly. The dash itself remains uncut, preserving the car’s original appeal. The door panels are immaculate, and there are no signs of cigarette smoke inside. The trunk is clean, highly detailed, and includes the matching full-size spare tire and rim.

Mechanical:

Under the hood, the 368ci V8 engine starts reliably, runs smoothly, and idles effortlessly. The car drives beautifully and glides down the road, providing a relaxed, luxurious ride. In the video below, you can observe the car accelerating up to highway speeds of 70 mph, braking smoothly, and taking curves with ease. The brakes respond well, with no pulling to one side. The transmission shifts smoothly across the power band. The engine compartment is clean and detailed, retaining the original air cleaner and valve covers.

The car’s electrical components work, including the headlights (brights and dim), interior lights, power top, temperature gauge, generator light, and indicators. The clock still works occasionally. However, there are a few minor issues to note, including the horn, temperature and air controls, wipers, power antenna, and the left front turn signal that are not functional.
