Yes, that was one of the selling points. The guy had started to have the entire interior re-upholstered(leather), newer dash, gauges rebuilt, etc, etc. Wheel is brand new as well(original in a box in the car). Most of the carpet/headliner still needs to be repaired or replaced.

It’s going to need about 10-15K in bodywork and paint, but all the OEM replacement body panels and pieces are included in a box as well. Everything is sound on the car, aside from a 3-4" rust slit on both rear quarters just outside the wheel well. easy repair work by most resto standards. Biggest expense outside paint will easily be the trim/bumper/wheel rechroming.

Previous owner also had/included a kit to do a Willwood dynalite four pot caliper upgrade on the front and move the OE front calipers to the rear. OE brakes on these cars sucked.
