There is very faint evidence of hail marks if you look at the right angle. Overall, the paint is in good condition and shows well! Interior Condition: The interior is original and in decent condition. The previous owner had the middle seats removed and stored away. The one middle seat has a tear/hole in it. The other seats are in decent condition. The plastic is in good condition.
