The speedometer reads 41769 miles but I will assume it has rolled over although it may be the actual total.The power convertible top works great although the original top material is worn out and needs replacing.
The car was stored in a garage for many years avoiding the heavy east coast rust although it does have some of the most common rust in some spots of the floor pans, inner rockers, and torque boxes (see photos), but drives fine as-is.
The car had one repaint some time ago and it polished up pretty nicely. There are some minor body repairs and filler in a few spots on the car but the car looks surprisingly well although ideally the car would need to be repainted for a show quality finish.
The car has been mechanically restored and runs and drives perfect but will need floor repairs, a new top, and body and paint work to be show quality.
Perfect car for a body man or restoration shop that can do floor sheet metal repairs.
