The car has undergone significant mechanical work including a transmission rebuild and replacement of several key components like the water pump, radiator, and AC compressor. However, there are noticeable cosmetic issues such as faded paint on the roof and upward-facing surfaces, blemishes on the chrome alloy wheels, and wood trim separation. The odometer is also inoperative and the seller notes oil seepage and that the transmission sticks in first gear when cold, indicating it requires some reconditioning despite recent mechanical attention.
