The car has undergone significant recommissioning after being in storage for over two decades. While mechanical components have been serviced and refreshed, the listing notes evidence of prior paintwork on the hood and front fenders, with the left-front fender being refinished. The interior appears well-maintained with MB-Tex upholstery and woodgrain trim. Overall, it's in very good condition with some cosmetic attention needed on the paint.
