None!!!!...that I could see, anyway...and whoever did the body work did an incredible job and hid it well.

Great re-do black paint job with a gold pin stripping...two dashboard cracks (I think standard), an AC that blew cold and the previous owner had a CD player put in. Other than that, original. Long story but I bought it from my Ex when she needed the cash a year after we divorced.

Bottom line, one of the greatest cars I ever owned or drove.

About 3 years after owning it a strong tick developed in the engine and I parked it until I had could have it looked at...never did...and a year after parking it someone offered me $4 grand for it as it sat...seemed liked he would love it like I did and I took it.

"Miss that car!!!!!"
