This Excalibur ran and drove well with some other issues of note. The top frame for the convertible (manual) roof is missing so the roof was not removed due to it having to be manually removed and then manually put back on. The seller volunteered that information. The hood had very minor paint blemishes. There are minor misc scratches around the vehicle. Normal for mileage and most too small to see in photos. There was some general misalignment to the body panels.
The tachometer and voltage meter did not work. The vehicle was driven roughly 3 miles however the odometer is not working, which is why the mileage photos are the same. The seats showed minor wear but no tears. There was surface rust on the underside, see pictures. There is a VIN was on the dash only. I noted no smoke or odd odors inside. The air horn doesn't work. The air conditioning doesn't work.
Under the hood I noted full fluids.
The vehicle did drive well. Once the engine warmed up it ran more fluidly. Note it was a cold day and the smoke seen in the pictures went away and did not come back. The transmission was a little hard to shift back into park after the test drive.
