Exterior: Paint is glossy and probably done in the late 80's or early 90's based on methods and type. Very nice driver quality condition. Has some chips here and there, and a few surface rust spots born from rock chips more than likely. Nothing larger than a quarter. Very minor. Floors and rockers are excellent. interior floors were cleaned and rust-preventive coated when new carpet went down. This is what most sellers would call "rust free", but NOTHING this age is completely rust free and I am honest enough to acknowledge that.
