What the photos show

- can't judge the paint — no photo loaded, so no way to know if it needs paint work or not
- can't judge the chrome and trim — no photo loaded, so no way to know if rechroming money is needed
- can't judge the seats and interior — no photo loaded, so no way to know if reupholstering money is needed
- can't judge the dash and gauges — no photo loaded, so no way to know if dash or wood repair money is needed
- can't judge the engine bay — no photo loaded, so no way to know if bay cleanup or engine work money is needed
