Paint-
* Car was painted in 2005, you can tell it was expertly prepared. It is beautifully polished, smooth, shiny, and matches all the way around and without a question is professionally done!
* There is absolutely no orange peel, as it is beautifully rubbed and smooth..
* Being extremely critical there are a few small chips of paint on the top portion of the drivers door, and a small nick on the deck lid in the center. (see pics)
Body-
* The body is almost laser straight, and had to have been extremely professionally prepared before receiving the paint. Look closely at the pictures at an angle, and you will see what I am talking about.
* The fits of the doors, hood, and trunk all look fairly uniform and proper, and where expertly remounted on the car.
* We have not been able to locate any dents, or incorrect waves in the body of any type. (See Pics)
Magnets-
* The owner indicated the reason he bought this car was he believed it has been out west, and believed it to have a very high quality body with minimal repair.
* In going over the car with a magnetic paint gauge we would estimate that in order to make a car this beautifully straight it would have been professionally prepared. As a show car it has a good solid amount of color placed on the body to produce a beautiful finish.
* We did not find any absents of steel in body panels, and would note that around the headlights, taillight, and wheel opening moldings it did not indicate typical rust repair.
* The rear bottom of the front fenders is the only spot the gauge indicated some possible repair at some point.
Bright Work-
* All the bright work on the car appears to be fastened down well.
* All the stainless surrounding or near the windows is all dent free and shows very little wear, but like typical few year old stainless could be polished up a step better.
* The stainless running down the sides, the brushed v shaped stainless, and Bel-Air style caps on top of the rear quarters is all in shiny highly polished condition with only a couple of minor dimples on the drivers side piece toward the rear. (See Pics)
* The front and rear Chevrolet badging and the V below it, as well as the spears on the front, the antenna mount and door handles all look like that of almost a new car.
* The rear bumper and the taillight bezels are all very shiny and reflective, but do have some light wear and scratching on the top.
* The chrome on front bumper as well as the points and lower hood piece have no wear, with the exception of some discoloring on the lower right hand front bumper corner. (See Pics)
Glass-
* All new tinted glass was installed in all windows only excluding the vent window glass, which appears to be a similar tint.
* The glass does not have any noticeable logos on it with the exception of the windshield which is a LOF logo.
* The glass is as new as you could imagine, as we don't see any scratches, wiper marks, cracks ext. The darker tint really looks appropriate on the blue body.
Interior-
* The interior was started off by freshly repainting the dash the same color matching the outside with great attention to detail when installing knobs, gauges, levers, ext. Its an extremely striking dash! There is almost no wear showing on the dashes bright work, steering wheel has no open cracks, and just a couple light hair line cracks. The bright work on the window cranks, and door releases look almost new. (See Pics)
* Previous owner had a professional upholster install the headliner, door panels, seat covers, and carpet, and it shows no wear.
* The sun visors are solid and matching headliner upholstery.
* The interior all feels and looks as if it was just done.
* There is a small amount of wrinkling on the headliner particularity around the hand pull straps.
* The new wiring harness was installed in the car and also included is all the extra wiring, and information from American auto wire systems. It includes wiring to add in factory or even non factory options like a third light or electric fans. The remainder of the kit and the electrical connectors are included.
* Heat and vent system
* The trunk is painted in similar blue.
* Inboard springs allow accommodation of larger rear tires and wheels shall a future owner desire.
