*****ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUALS WARRANTY INFO BOOKLET IN THE ORIGINAL OWNERS NAME,CONSUMER INFO BOOKLET, TIRE INFO BOOKLET, AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE BOOKLET, MANY SERVICE RECORDS ALL GO WITH SALE*****THE EXTERIORTHE BRIGHT WHITE PAINT SHOWS VERY WELL WITH NO VISIBLE SWIRL MARKS OR FADING. ON A SCALE OF 1 -10 IN MY OPINION THE PAINT IS A 8. THE PADDED WHITE LANDAU TOP IS SOFT AND SUPPLE WITH NO CRACKING OR BUBBLING. LANDAU TOP WOULD BE A 9. ALL GLASS IS CLEAR AND ORIGINAL. THE BUMPER FILLERS ARE SOLID NOT CRACKED. THE BLUE ACCENT STRIPES WERE ADDED CORRECTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AS BLUE WAS NOT AVAILABLE FROM FACTORY. THE MATCHING BLUE BODY SIDE MOLDINGS ARE BRIGHT AND NOT WEATHERED.*** THE STAINLESS AND CHROME (AND THERE IS A LOT) IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION FRONT TO BACK AND WOULD BE A 9. GOOD THING AS IT WOULD BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE .THE ENGINE AND TRUNK COMPARMENT YOU HAVE TO SEE TO BELIEVE. THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT HOUSES ORIGINAL SPARE AND JACK ASSEMBLY. ALL WEATHERSTRIPPING DOOR, TRUNK ETC LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL BUT IN VERY VERY GOOD CONDITION
THE INTERIORTHE BLUE INTERIOR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE DASH BEZEL IS BRIGHT AND DASH PAD HAS NO CRACKS. THE 3 SPOKE SPORT STEERING WHEEL LOOKS UNTOUCHED BY HUMAN HANDS. THE SEATING AREA HAS NO STAINS RIPS NOR TEARS. CARPET AND ORIGINAL RIVIERA MATS ARE CLEAN AND SHOW MINIMAL WEAR. THE HEADLINER IS CLEAN AND TIGHT(RARE) THE INTERIOR WOULD BE A STRONG 8.5
THE MECHANICALSTHE 403 STARTS RIGHT UP AND TRANS SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND GOES STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD AND IS VERY QUIET. THE ENGINE BAY IS SUPER CLEAN AND 403 STILL RETAINS MOST OF ITS BLUE PAINT. ENGINE IS DRY WITH NO LEAKS. AND ALL PARTS ARE INTACT. THE UNDERSIDE IS VERY CLEAN WITH MINIMAL SURFACE RUST FOR A 40 YEAR OLD CAR. THE OIL PAN,TRANS PAN, AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL ARE ALL DRY. THE ENTIRE EXHAUST ALMOST LOOKS NEW AND SO DOES THE PANCAKE ORIGINAL CATALYIC CONVERTOR (. ) ALL POWER OPTIONS WORKING EXCEPT THE POWER ANTENNA WHICH YOU CAN PUT UP OR DOWN MANUALLY AND THE AM/FM STEREO PLAYS CLEARLY. THE LAMP MONITORS WORK CORRECTLY AND SHOW YOU IF ANY LAMPS OR BULBS ARE BURNED OUT FRONT TO BACK FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE CLOCK DOES NOT WORK. THE CLIMATE CONTROL AC COULD STAND A CHARGE IF YOU PREFER ICE COLD. THE MICHELIN 245/75R 15 TIRES HAVE AT LEAST 70% TREAD LIFE.
