This classic looks to have been well kept with some issues of note. I found no obvious signs of the vehicle having prior major accident or flood damage. The wipers are worn and should be replaced. Both the driver and passenger side doors need to be realigned. There are scratches on the driver door exterior finish and in the door jamb at the bottom entry area. There are minor scratches at both rear taillamps. There are scratches on the rear deck area where the convertible top attaches. There are various paint issues, there is fisheye at the rear of the right front fender where it meets the passenger side door. There are two blisters on the rear deck lid. The underside shows areas of surface rust. See pictures. The body seals are showing signs of age and wear. This includes the doors, windows, trunk, and other miscellaneous body seals. There are multiple areas where the prior bodywork was performed and now starting to show through. The exterior shows wear with what is considered to be appropriate for the age and mileage of the vehicle.
The interior shows well with light wear noted. The steering wheel has a leather wrap cover on it. Unable to determine the condition of the original steering wheel underneath. There is light wear to the drivers seat. Normal for mileage. The interior trim shows normal wear consistent with age and mileage. The carpet shows normal wear consistent with mileage. All accessories are working as designed.
I found some issues on the test drive. There is a fuel leak coming from the fuel tank sending unit. The transmission is seeping fluid and should be cleaned off and recheck to find the source of seepage. The engine had plenty of power and there were no misfires. The transmission shifted as designed with no harsh engagement or slipping. The steering was responsive and the suspension was firm and the vehicle handled well. There were no abnormal vibrations or odd noises. The brakes were firm with no issues felt. See below and pictures for more info.
