Has been sitting for 6 years but started right up and drove out nice but as with any old car it needs to be thoroughly gone thru and checked for road worthiness. Chrome and trim on it. No parts missing. The radio and dash lights light up the volume doesn't come out of the speakers but it does have a foot control for hands free operation.
