THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR AND SOME OF THE HOOD WAS KEYED AND PRIMERED OVER.
THE TRUNK HOOD AND ROOF SHOW A NICE PATINA.
THE INTERIOR PLASTICS ARE VERY BRITTLE AND CRACK EASILY, SOME PLASTICS ARE INCLUDED IN TRUNK BUT NOT THE CORRECT COLOR.
PERFECT START FOR YOU TO ADD A TURBO OR MAYBE TWINS AND REALLY HAVE SOME FUN.
