Seats are badly worn.
General comments?
This is truly one of America's greatest cars. It features a classic design with loads of torque and horsepower. The car also handles extremly well. It has been very reliable. Replacement and performance parts are inexpensive and plentiful, plus the car is easy to work on. Resale value is high. Looks, performance, reliabillity and a rich history... what more could you want in a automobile?
