The "Bad":

I have not tested the A/C system or it's components, as said components are from 1984, or potentially 1999/2000 (the last years that the previous owner daily drove the car). So please note the car does not have "working A/C." All the components are present/installed on the car, but not re-charged/tested.
The radio is installed/has never been removed, and I cannot personally get the radio/cassette player to work. So I would also note that the car does not have a working radio/stereo system.
Under the dash (going to the floor pan), the leather/cover is peeling, and would need to be re-glued/refinished.
(Please reference photos)
There is a "tear" in the dash's leather/cover, could potentially be "Filled in + color matched," or replaced entirely if deemed necessary.
The interior shell of the convertible top does have some tears, potentially could be patched-up/sewn or repaired (or replaced entirely).
The dash will intermittently work, sometimes while driving it up and down the road, the "RPM" gauge will stop working, along with the Coolant + Gas gauges (and the various lights on the center), and then randomly will "Come back on." So please note a potential "Electrical" issue with the dash (or connection to the dash).
The paint on the car is the original paint, and is starting to "fall off" (see photos).
One very small/potential rust (more than likely just "surface rust" since the paint chipped) spot on the fender, please see photos.
The trunk latch isn't latching, needs to be fixed/replaced.
Notes:

• Clear title in hand
• Honest photos showcase condition – perfect for assessing your project scope
• Pre-purchase inspections welcome!
