The exterior of the vehicle was clean and in good condition with a few issues of note. The exterior of the vehicle was littered with scratches and rock chips. There was also some bubbling to different problem areas of the exterior. Both the hood and the fuel hatch were missing emblems. There were also signs of corrosion and rust to many of the rock chips. All four wheels and tires were in good condition. All four tires had plenty of tread remaining. The engine cavity was clean and in good condition. All fluids were topped off. The engine oil was clean and within operating range. All hoses and belts were in good condition. Missing door mirrors on both sides. Passenger windshield wiper blade popped off while cycling during test drive.
The interior was clean and in good condition with a few issues of note. Both seats showed signs of wear to seat cushions and upper bolsters. Both inner door panels have rips and tears. No carpet or floor mats. No rust to floors. Center console has gaps in mounting. Radio was not functional at time of inspection. A/C was not getting cold, possibly in need of freon. All dash gauges appeared to be functional. Seller has new seats and carpet for flooring. As well as other fixtures that go with the vehicle if purchased.
The vehicle would not start for test drive initially. The battery had failed and seller replaced with a new one. The engine then started and ran well. The test drive was good, the engine started promptly and idled smoothly. The manual transmission shifted in and out of gear smoothly without hesitation. The suspension performed well.
Overall this was not a perfect classic vehicle with several cosmetic imperfections. The seller is offering many of the new parts needed to correct these cosmetic defects. The vehicle appears to be mechanically sound. Please see photos and below for more info.

This report is a visual and road-test evaluation of the vehicle’s observable condition at the time of inspection. It is a buying guide — not a mechanical warranty, a diagnostic breakdown, or a recommendation for or against purchase.
This report reflects a visual and road-test evaluation of observable conditions at the time of inspection only. Vehicles are not placed on a lift, and no diagnostic testing or teardown was performed. This inspection report is for information purposes only and is intended as a buying guide, not a mechanical warranty or diagnostic breakdown, and is not to be considered a recommendation for or against the purchase of the inspected vehicle.
This Inspection Report is governed by the terms and conditions of the order which were accepted by you at the time of placing the order and which are available at https://lemonsquad.com/terms and which contain important information, disclosures, disclaimers, limitations on liability and mandatory arbitration. This Inspection Report is for the sole and exclusive use of the Customer named above and may not be used or relied upon by any third party including, without limitation, any purchaser of a vehicle from Customer.
Without limiting the Limited Warranty, Disclaimers, Limitations on Liability and Dispute Resolution provisions of the terms and conditions (available at https://lemonsquad.com/terms), there are no implied or express warranties or guarantees of any kind in connection with any vehicle inspection. The vehicle inspection is intended solely as an “evaluation” of a given vehicle’s condition at the time, date and place of examination. Wrench Inc., and its affiliates including LemonSquad, specifically disclaims any liability for any loss or damage arising in connection with ownership or operation of said vehicle and further disclaims any liability of any hidden wreck, flood damage or tampered components not readily apparent upon visual inspection. The items visually inspected were in the reported condition listed in the report at the time of the inspection only. A visual inspection will not identify the working condition of each and every vehicle part or component, nor will a visual inspection identify any or all missing, tampered or altered components. Intermittent component or systems issues or failures may not present themselves at the precise time of inspection and/or a vehicle may be tuned in a manner to mask or minimize any such issues; in either case, such intermittent issues may not be discoverable during inspection. Further disclaimed is any liability for any damage or defects not found during inspection. Other conditions may exist which did not occur or appear during inspection. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the vehicle to be inspected is in a state in which the vehicle is legal to drive on public roads, safe and functioning well enough to start and drive, and located in a space that is accessible and allows the inspector full access to vehicle components. Vehicles that are not safe, legal, or in a running condition will not have a test drive performed.
