Started to put all back together and ran out of time, bumpers, grills, headlights, turn signals, etc and present or one bolt holding in place. Comes with two sets of wheels, but tires are pretty old. the yellow wheels are the "rare" comet road wheels with caps and trim rings. Tires hold air! Car will need: both quarters, three of the four floor pans, both rear frame rails, and the left and right trunk floor pans next to the gas tank. No interior, except what you see in the pictures.
