Wow, quite nicely preserved! :thumb

No cracks in the dash at all?

I don't think I've ever seen an early leather interior in that state of preservation. :thumb

there is one VERY small crack in the top dash near the center, hard to see.

There is a very good vinyl repair guy in these parts that I will temporarily employ to fix it up. You can't see his work, it just vanishes.

The leather is absolutely untouched in the rear. As is the rear floor.

The front leather is great to excellent as well.

Thanx guys, I appreciate the comments, it is a nice specimen for sure.

Needs some love, but it IS 23 years old after all.

Holy cats! :o

It must have been garaged all it's life.
Keep that leather SOAKED in a good preservative.
Zow. :shock:
