'82 recap:
It's sitting outside so it's dirty. No repaint detected under any trim or in the door jams. Only a small rub thru on the forward point of the front bumper. The rear window trim has the usual fading of the flat black coating showing the chrome below. Inside is mint except for a small cut in the passenger seat towards the console and a 1.5"" circle color repair on the drivers seat bottom that most would miss seeing, it is that good.
Under the hood GM logos on all but one belt. Both radiator hoses are GM. It just needs a good detailing and fresh valve cover gaskets. The vacuum canisters in front of the hood are still look new. The finishes under the hood are all still new looking. Someone held the fan blade hub in front of the pulley with a pair of large pliers and scratched it up but that's the only "hack". Under the car is consistent with the miles. A little minor surface rust only. It appears in '82 they painted the mufflers and rear pipes? My original '81 is unpainted. Tires are Goodyear GTII's in 70 series with plenty of tread but would look better with the 255/60/15's most came with.
Nice original car. I worked with Steve Radke.
