Exterior
The exterior shows well . There are minor misc scratches around the vehicle. Most too small to see in photos. The vehicle shows minor miscellaneous dings around the body. The paint shows some wear and tear. Pitting and chipping to vehicle front. There are no obvious signs of major accident damage, flood damage, neglect or abuse. The tires have plenty of tread left, and the wheels show no signs of curb rash. Vehicle has been nicely restored.
Interior
The interior shows well. All accessories are working as designed. There were no odd odors or signs of smoking present. The interior was recently re done.
Mechanical
Onto the mechanical side of things, the vehicle is good shape. Engine started easily cold, runs smooth and had good performance. No signs of excess smoke out the tailpipe. The vehicle stood at a normal operating temperature throughout the duration of my inspection. All four tires have a good amount of tread depth on them and show an even wear pattern indicating that vehicle alignment is within specifications. The engine is seeping some oil from the underside. There were no drips at time of inspection. This area should be cleaned off and rechecked to verify source of leak or leaks.
Road Test
Vehicle runs and drives as expected, well maintained and I found no issues on the test drive. The engine had plenty of power and there were no misfires. The transmission shifted as designed with no harsh engagement or slipping. The steering was responsive and the suspension was firm and the vehicle handled well. There were no abnormal vibrations or odd noises. The brakes were firm with no pulsation felt. See below and pictures for more info.
