What condition is the interior in? And did it have rear headrests?

I didn't have a look inside it as I didn't want him busting me snooping through his car. Judging by the outside I don't think the interior will be A1. Were they meant to have the chrome trim as there is no chrome trim left on it unless it has been taken off.

hey guys, this ebay seller wrecked an a9y about 3-4 years ago and is starting to sell some of the parts. he has the comp plates still and I'm going to try to get photos. he has sold the interior / dash cluster / doors and elecs / front 1/4's i think lower calais moulds. I saw he had the wheels left and some chrome roof moulds / roofracks however he has another shipping crate to sort through. story goes it was an og blue n/a 6cyl but was repainted almost black and rear 1/4 damage wrote it off. he planned to reshell. probably don't pester him for parts but deff's keep an eye on his auctions. he doesn't really know what he has left in the shed. ---------- Post added 23-04-12 at 23:08 ---------- http://myworld.ebay.com.au/rickylvl/...84.m1439.l2754 (http://myworld.ebay.com.au/rickylvl/&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2754) also sold popups

In Japan at the moment so an email would be great if you have one-don't worry I don't intend on bringing it here - will store it until I return to Australia.

Thanks mate - seems a bit pricey for the state it is in though - rust, interior looks a bit of a mess (carpet lifted up), needs a respray, aircon not working and we don't even know how long it has been out of rego. If it was close to my house I would possibly put a bid on it but having to fork out an extra $1000 for transport.....think I will pass especially considering some of the bargain A9Ys that have turned up on ebay in the last 18 months. Of course if it was a genuine turbo that would be altogether different....
