This is a well maintained, original car that has spent most of its life in the Southwest, Tucson, Az and Texas. I have owned this car since 1996. It has always been garaged, so the paint, chrome and interior are in very good condition. This is a solid #2 car, no rust, and damage free. This car has never been in an accident and there are no scratches, dents or dings, as you can see by the photos. There was one repaint, prior to my ownership in the original Sky Mist Blue, and the paint is in very good condition.
The power windows work well, and the weather stripping is in very good condition. The right vent window has a small gap when closed. There are some slight wiper marks on the windshield.
The chrome is in excellent condition with no pitting, however there are 2 small chips under the front bumper, not visible unless you look under the car.
The interior is in very good shape, no tears or cracking. The seats have been redone in the original blue vinyl color.
The convertible top fits well and does not have any tears or rips, the back window is not yellowed or cracked. The top does have a small discoloration on the front left corner. The hydraulics work well on the deck lid and top when opening or closing, and the hoses have recently been replaced. The weather stripping is in very good condition on the deck lid and trunk.
The engine is mechanically sound. The transmission and brakes have been rebuilt during my ownership. The front and rear wheel bearings have been replaced.The battery is new, and I just installed a new Holly carburetor.
The sleek, smooth lines of this car are enhanced by the removable fiberglass Sports Roadster Tonneau cover, which gives the car an M-Series look and transforms this car into a two-seater. It also has wire wheel hubcaps which adds to the Sports Roadster look. This car is ready to cruise and show, it runs strong and looks great!
Relatively low miles for the year and only 18,000 miles since the engine was rebuilt around 1997 or 98. I had Factory Air installed when the engine was rebuilt, and the engine compartment was repainted at that time, (Sky Mist Blue). The AC does need recharged, because the compressor was removed (and reinstalled) to gain access to rebuild the power steering pump. Heavy duty car cover included.
