Condition is very good considering the year. She had a minor restoration a few years ago. She starts easy and runs great. Clutch and transmission are smooth. Paint shows well still has a nice shine but grey is not the original color. Original color is an orange/yellow color. It has been grey for at least 15 years. It has a couple cosmetic flaws that you will see in the pictures but it's nothing major. Car is very original and has never been hit. Undercarriage is clean and solid. Fuel pump and battery are a couple years old. Rubber floor mats are brand new...
Now for the bad. Car leaves droplets of oil from time to time. There are no headrests and the front seat belts are missing. Also I can't get the front and passenger seats to slide back and forth maybe someone else can figure it out. The convertible top is in good shape other than a couple patches. 3 out of 4 tires are excellent. 1 is fair/good.
This is a one owner car. A 96 year old man in my neighborhood bought the car new. He absolutely adored this car and only drove it summers since I can remember. Due to his recent vision impairment a family member of his sold me the car. I have the original mass title dated 1979. I bought the car with intentions of cruising around in it but now realize I don't have the time to tinker with a 2nd vehicle nor do I have the room hence the reason I'm selling it. If you have any questions don't hesitate to call me at 4one3 four55 7zerozero1.....I'm putting my number like this because of the scammers that text.
I prefer to sell the car locally but if you are from out of state I'll be willing to make arrangements with you as long as buyer is making the arrangements and covering the costs for shipping. I have a right to end auction early as it is listed locally for sale.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall
Tue, Sep 29 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:
Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
