The inspector 's conclusion
For 50 year old vehicle Mechanically it is a very good condition Body work has minor issues in few areas. It has
some defects, but in general it's very well kept. Has one bigger dent passenger door.
All the rust issues has been welded. Driver seat is a bit wobbly. Engine has been replaced in 2012. Mileage is not actual to me as suspecting the speedo cable not working before as noticed in invoice speedo cable has been purchased.
They mentioned everything would be rectified. Rear Suspension and battery and alternator issues. Steering box would not be touched.
Vehicle matches it's price.
