  • The original Becker "Gran Prix" stereo is missing a button for the cassette player, and the power antenna has power but is not currently extending.
  • A couple of very minor (size of a nickel or smaller) door dings.

  • The Michellin tires are in excellent condition with no weatherchecking, but are several years old.
