Factory shop manuals and paint chart. Also one quart of "lacquer" style paint that is still in liquid form. Sales receipt for that paint is dated back to mid 1970's. Assorted odds & ends Car seems to have what I believe is the original interior. I can see horse hair stuffing in the upholstery and floor mats/ carpeting.It needs to be replaced but is in remarkable shape for its age. All the doors open and close with just a gentle push. All windows go up and down. The vehicle's tires are shot. They are good enough for quick "neighborhood drives" . The electrical system needs work. The generator puts out approx 8 volts and charges the battery. The wire harness has been hacked into over the years, and the original cloth wire covering is dry rotting away. The oil pressure guage and the water temperature guage work. The fuel and charging guages do not work. The glove box door mounted clock does not work. The car has no working turn signals headlights, tail & brake lights. The body is in good condition. I see no evidence of rust on the fenders, doors, hood, rear deck. The chrome on front bumpers look good. The rear bumper has two spots where the plating has come off and surface rust is present. The gas door needs to be remounted, and there is a small dent on the drivers side rear fender. The vehicle needs a repaint. The laquer finish that is there is cracked and starting to lift off the body. The vehicle was caught on video just before I bought it. Follow the link: http://youtu.be/83ZQF9vSy6E.
