NO SMOKE AT ALL. This car runs and drives strong. The air-suspension works but it will need servicing. The automatic transmission shifts smooth with no hesitation or any unusual noises. The paint on this car is the original one (never re-painted), it is faded and it needs to be re-done. The rust spots on the upper body (hood, roof, trunk lid) is only a SURFACE corrosion (no holes) and it can be sanded prior to primer. The undercarriage is solid and strong. Frame and floors are RUST-FREE and 100% original. All lights, gauges, power windows, wipers and horn work properly. This is a very valuable and rare car which needs a total restoration.
