The NOS fender is in good condition but does have some dings, dents and surface rust.

Some amateur body work was performed at some time in the past, along with some resprayed paint. Gray overspray is present on the lower roof. Paint on top of roof is very thin. Bumpers and grille are in very good condition, but hood and trunk die cast is quite pitted. Three hubcaps are chrome, one (the one under the driver's side rear skirt) is a painted "blackout" hubcap. Both skirts are present, the passenger side one was found after prinicpal photography was done, and was photographed later (see photos). All weatherstrips need replacement.
