Original carpet. Inside rear view mirror spotted.An unmolested original interior. Console in good shape. Only modification to interior is addition of a water temp gauge. Exterior was the victim of a 90 year old lady with less than perfect eyesight and a narrow one car garage. She managed to bump each side several times entering and exiting. Looks like the right front fender might have been replaced many years ago (the red has faded darker than the rest). Several hail dents in the body from 1970 Lubbock,TX F-5 Tornado, possibly the last remaining running example of any car with damage from that 1970 tornado. Not sure what difference that makes, but there it is. All dents are repairable. Some rust in area behind passenger rear wheel lower, see pics. Some surface rust on rear bumper, that's it. Underside surface rust only of course. Car was sold in and has always remained in dry West Texas, Lubbock to be exact. . Original paint with best C stripe of early 68 models. Original GT wheel caps and rings. One cap missing the GT emblem. Original GT spare wheel. Gauges work with exception of gas gauge. Speedo reads high due to new rear end ratio. Purchased from the original owner over 15 years ago by myself, she was 93 at the time. Her husband purchased the car for her new, he sadly passed shortly thereafter. No children ever sat in the car as they never had any. She never drove the car outside Lubbock county, driving it very little in the 90's. I have a stack of receipts dating from 1970 for everything she ever had done to the car. I also have pictures and receipts of the overhaul of the 69 428CJ.
