Interior is in very good condition, has a Pioneer AM / FM / Cassette Stereo, with Radio Shack rear speakers. Springs, Shocks and Trailer Hitch are almost new, they came off my 86 El Camino. Comes with set of studded snow tires on the rims., Stainless Steel brake lines from Pro-Tube, custom 7 piece set still new in the box. Car is being sold "AS IS". Excellent project car, I don't have a lot of information on it, I bought it a couple years ago to restore but the guy I bought it from didn't know anything about it's history either. The body is in pretty bad shape with rust in all the normal places. Most of the rust is towards the rear, the quarter panels may need to be replaced. I see a couple little holes in the bed, I hadn't noticed them before but I have kept it covered for most of the 3 + years I've had it so maybe they were under the bed liner and I just hadn't notice them. I will try to answer any questions, but this is an "As Is" project car, I really don't want to sell it but I have too many projects and too many cars. I am not going to take it apart to find out what gears are in it or what is stamped on the block. I just don't have the time, sorry. I think this is going to make an excellent car and that someone is going to get very lucky, again I just don't have the time to do everything. Motor would appear to be a Goodwrench crate motor, valve covers say 350 but it could be a 305. I drove the car home when I bought it. My intention was to get the body work and under carriage issues done and then rebuild and stroke the engine or put a crate 5.7 HO engine in it before it got the final paint. After I checked everything out I decided to fix the brake lines, do a tune up and clean up the wiring so that if I had to drive it to anywhere for any reason it would be running and safe. When I was doing the tune up, I didn't like the way they had rigged up the plug on the distributor cap so I pulled all the wiring off and rewired the plug. Apparently when I had the distributor cap off addressing the plug I missed the ground connection from the ignition module. It wasn't firing after I replaced the cap and wires so I opted to wait to troubleshoot it until I had a little more time. Long story short when I found the time, a year later, the battery was dead so it should still run with no other real issues but again I don't have the time to repair it and if I did make the time, the price of the car would at least triple. Rear view mirror needs to be glued back on. There's no battery and when I went out to check the mileage I noticed the knob on window crank is missing.
