(one cap is missing the Pontiac insignia). All four tires have lots of tread left on them. The body is straight and clean except for minor previous work done to the doors. The paint is in good driver condition. The paint on the sides is nice condition but the hood and trunk have the oxidation which is customary when the California sun hits metallic silver paint. The car had previous poorly done minor body/patch work on the doors. And, s you can see there is gray and black paint overspray on those areas as well as in parts of the chrome door trim. I know the black paint will come off the chrome trim and I understand the gray overspray can be removed with wet sanding but not sure. The body works should be redone and some of the trim should be replaced if the new owner would like perfectcar. The right and left rear quarter corners near the bumpershave grayover spray.
