You will find the driver side seat, the only one used for most of the cars life, is cracked and needs restored. I have researched the leather and have a craftsman here in town that will order the custom leather to re do that seat. The balance of the interior is in really good condition. There is some wear on the vinyl roof, which will need to be repaired. I recently had the drivetrain gone through and there are no problems. The car runs and drives very smooth.
