The paint is gorgeous. Any imperfections are shown in the gallery,
plus a small ping on the hood that's very hard to see in
pictures.
The radio doesn't work. Everything else works as it should. We did
an inspection, including fluid levels.
Underneath: solid floors and trunk pan, no patches. Surface rust on
the frame rails and front suspension. Dual exhaust with a new
muffler we just put on. All shown in the gallery.

PAPERWORK
======
2014 appraisal report
NCRS Shipping Data Report confirming the build date and selling
dealer
Original partial build sheet, confirming the car as a factory Z/28:
302, 4-speed, 3.73 Posi. Van Nuys cars don't have Z/28 codes on the
trim tag, so the build sheet is what proves it. This one was found
on top of the gas tank.
