The Car has been repainted (base coat, clear coat) with the exception of the hardtop which still has the factory single stage paint The Signal Red hard top has a an excellent fit and finish. The front bumper has some minor dings to the aluminum cover and the bumperettes have a good fit, with only minor wear. The rear bumper with bumperettes has a good fit and finish with one small tear. The black soft top is original and in like new condition (The Hardtop has only been removed under a dozen times). All trim pieces are present and have a brilliant finish with no hazing. The U.S. spec headlights and taillights are in very good condition with only a small crack on the front headlight bezel.
The car has never been in an accident and has the stamped VIN on the front cross member.
Inside, the black interior has been rejuvenated seats all look great with one small hole in the driver seat. Excellent matching carpet throughout the interior. The genuine wood trim looks good with only mild fading and adds great style to the interior. The door panels are in good condition with only a few cracks in the dash. The headliner for the hardtop is in very good condition. The original steering wheel is in great condition. Also included, cruise control, automatic climate control, power windows, power locks, first aid kit, with original floor mats. All interior gauges are in full working order. A great car with no rust of any kind.

What the vehicle is still lacking:
The engine will need a bottom end rebuild within the next 30-40,000 miles (compression across all eight cylinders is within 5%.) with cylinders 1 & 8 burning slight oil so we have put in non-foulers. I was planning on upgrading the AC system (currently nonfunctioning). SRS light on (generally a simple fix). Some minor interior repairs i.e. small lights and plastic covers. It also needs a trunk seal ($25.00) and the soft top panel cover seal ($35.00). The plan was to also paint door jams and engine bay when I was going to do the engine rebuild (so that still needs to be done). The Radio is an Alpine pop out with an external amplifier (The radio operates but the LCD does not). Two new windshield washer nozzles ($15.00)
