Do tell......... I've got this on my "to call" list.

Interior looks nice but some incorrect things done there. Ran & drove great, of course new tires. Be a fun cruiser. GOLD pretty, pretty.

Are the floors rusted through? Trunk looks like it was POR 15'd to inhibit any further rust. Recent paint and interior? I can't make out the errors in the interior, can you please educate me? Thanks I'll call the seller too.

The colors of the door panels don't seem to match the rest of the interior, and the middle sections of the seats should have ribbed vinyl instead of smooth vinyl. That's what I could pick up from the two photos provided in the ad. Don H.

Carpet wasn't in Coronets, I think the glove box color was wrong Wher is Neil when I really need Him RIP. The INSIDE of the wheel lips are poorly smeared bondo. Yes, he'll take a lot less but if it were a perfect car as sometimes we get to drool on here it wouldn't be 21 either!!
