He had 4 of these and didn't drive them, so that's how I got the car a couple years ago. Since then I've done quite a bit of work to get it on the road and drivable as well as dress it up.Body is NICE as you can see, fairly straight and pretty solid throughout. Paint shows well and was redone about 10 years ago in red metallic and shows well. Cleans up nicely with good luster and shine. Body gaps are ok, doors have custom hinges and sag a hair so you have to slam them to shut properly. NO bubbles, NO rust holes that I could see.Engine is a strong running NOM 350 V8 (air cleaner decal is just for looks). Recent work includes fresh tune-up. Car starts right up and idles well. Has good power and runs and drives good. I would go throgh a few things before taking it on any long trips, but you can get in it and drive around fine. Brakes a little spongy. Exhaust has one muffler with a hole so smokes a bit, didn't get a chance to replace. Transmission shifts fine and it's got a good rear end.Interior shows fairly well as you can see. Normal wear here and there. Older seat upholstery, door panels, carpeting etc. Looks good but should eventually be redone to be nicer. Convertible top in good shape, about 10 years old. Couple small pinholes otherwise very nice, with glass rear window. ALL NEW WEATHERSTRIPPING for doors and trunk.Underneath has a SOLID FRAME from what I can see. Floors and trunk have had some patch work. It's solid and you won't fall through, but not oem panels and should be done properly down the road.Overall the car is a good looking driver. Get thumbs up anywhere I take it, but obviously not perfect and will eventually need a going over or moderate restoration depending on what you plan to do with it. Not everything works: a/c not connected (have compressor in trunk), horn, signals, couple of gauges, radio, may need a bulb or two replaced I'm sure.Nice car to get in and drive RIGHT NOW and eventually restore to your liking. PLEASE DON'T EXPECT TO COME HERE AND FIND A MUSEUM PIECE.
