This car had the engine and transmission rebuilt and was waiting for paint and upholstery. My friend went through a divorce and let it sit in his driveway, (with the hard top on) for 20 years or so. He gave me an offer I couldn't refuse so I took it. I can't seem to get power to the starter though. I took it in on a trailer to replace the starter. It cranked over once and the starter doesn't even click now. The wiring connections are a little corroded with age and I don't think they make good contact. This is the state it is in. Take a close look at the photos. The body is fairly straight and most the parts are there...granted, some chrome needs rechroming and there is a little surface rust, but as you can see, it is only surface. An excellent car to restore! Hopefully the motor and transmission will work great and you can skip that stage. Although my friend had no reason to exaggerate, I haven't even got it to start so I can't state an opinion either way. The speedometer says 02400, but it must have turned over I imagine. The soft top bows are there, but the cloth is bad. On Aug-21-15 at 19:24:13 PDT, seller added the following information: This is a California car from a very mild climate. Low humidity. An engine sitting for 20 years won't usually show any signs of rust. The car has surface rust only. This car is actually better than it looks in the pictures. Fairly straight body, no "body cancer" or rust, even in the doors, trunk or wheel panels. Once the wiring is cleaned up it should start and run great. Paint and upholstery is needed badly though. Please don't hesitate to bid!
