All gauges work properly. Original Philco radio works good. As seen in the pictures the original interior was well preserved to the car being garaged and its low mileage.
PAINT & BODY- This car has NO RUST. 100% rust free. The car has had one repaint in its original color of Medium Ivy Green Metallic. This car has never had any accident history. Door and body gaps are perfect. Very nicely preserved car with only minor rock chips and imperfections. Arrow strait body with no filler.
BRAKES AND SUSPENSION- I just had a alignment done. During the alignment the complete suspension was thoroughly inspected. All of the front end rubber (bushings, tie rod ends, a arm bushings ect.) are in excellent condition. Updated rear shocks. The car drives excellent.

35k original miles. Documented history dating back to 1978. I have a huge stack of records/ receipts that documents the original mileage. This car runs and drives excellent. Many hours have gone into the preservation of this car. This is a very rare original low mile un-restored muscle car. Very few were ordered with the 429 4V motor and hideaway headlights option. Original window sticker and option sheet included. Marti Report. I have very regretfully decided to sell this car out of my private collection to finish up other restorations. The Torino runs and drives like new. The car needs nothing.
