Repainted at sometime by original owner before we bought it in 2009, still looks great but there is some bubbling of paint in three small spots on left rear fender, and one on front right fender. (Replacement Limited Edition stripes are in glovebox.) There is a small crack near passenger-side mirror (see last photo). Interior door panels are in very good shape. Dash/fascia is in good shape, with one large crack above glove box. Seats were re-padded & re-upholstered in leather in 2012. Carpet behind seats needs to be replaced. We removed the "sun-visors" years ago, probably threw them away.
This is a 37 year old vehicle that has not been restored or rebuilt: I have done my best to describe this car's condition and I do not know of any major issues, mechanical or cosmetic, other than those described above. However, being a private owner and not a dealer, I cannot make any warranty or guarantee: this vehicle is sold as is. You may email me with any questions, or to request additional photos.
