Very sleek, sexy car! Same owner the last 24 years! The previous owner had it 10 years. We purchased from the estate. Has 34 years of maintenance receipts. EXTERIOR: What a looker. The sleek lines make it look like a rocket, a real head turner. Now add the roadster package and it is a neck snapper. The 2 seater tonneau lid and wire wheels with spinners really make it pop. The lid easily lifts off to convert back to a... 4 seater. The lid does not interfere with the convertible top function. The body and paint are not perfect but show real well. It is straight and glossy. Doors shut nice. The chrome is very bright. Actually front and rear bumpers look new. The stainless trim is straight and shiney. The chrome headlight bezels usually pit, these are real nice. The chrome vent window frame is smooth, bright chrome. The retractable top functions real well, it's a show in itself. The top is white and very good shape. It has an aftermarket continental kit on back to add even more pizazz. INTERIOR: The interior is not beat up, it was well cared for. It has some cracks from age but no signs of abuse. The instrument area sparkles. Knobs, lenses, gauges, radio are in really nice shape. Steering wheel looks new including the chrome horn ring, plastic emblem, shift indicator and the plastic rim does not have a crack. The aluminum insert across door panels, dash and console are really nice. Seat cushions are still firm. Front upholstery has some tiny cracks but be upholstery fits really nice. Rear upholstery and side panels are mint. Carpets are replaced. Visors are mint. It is a well cared for interior. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The big 390 makes 300 hp. Runs smooth and clean. Very nice looking motor compartment. Nothing has been modified. Stock air cleaner, valve covers, stickers etc. Painted proper colors. Plug wires are in their holders, has heat riser tube to the choke, has washer bag etc. It features power steering and brakes. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It has it's original full liner including tire cover. Trunk light works. All the power top cylinders, cables, wires etc looks proper. UNDERSIDE: Very solid and original. The floors and frame rails look good. Dual exhaust, shocks look good. Front end has a few newer bushings. Bottom of motor and trans look clean. Underneath is not show quality but every thing looks proper. What a lot of car for the money. Think about it. This car has great style in and out. It has very unique features that will generate a lot of interest. It is a convertible with a big block motor. Cruise in comfort, it is so smooth.
