Installed 2007 The car was repainted 2004 Interior was repaired/replaced 2004 The convertible top was replaced in 2004. It has a plastic rear window. The top and rear window show no signs of wear. The power windows all work properly, they all go up and down like they should. The top and trunk electronics work properly. They seem to work smoothly. ------ This is a well maintained driver. I could see no rust or rust repair anywhere on the car. While the paint is not flawless it shows very well (NOTHING is flawless!) Take it for a drive, take it to a cruise in, this is a car that would be fun AND it will keep up with traffic! This ain't no Model A! The car was part of an estate, the current owners father died after a short illness around 2005 so I have no history before then. The current owners are the 3rd owners, they obtained the car as heirs to the estate. The car is driven but rarely to local functions. It's stored inside in a clean covered garage. While not perfect this would be a wonderful touring car or for the collector who likes to drive there collection. When I photographed the underside of the car I saw the typical minor oil weeping from a rarely used mostly original car. I saw no puddles of anything scary under the car. When the car was cold started it didn't rattle or smoke.Look at the photos and ask any questions. Due to the cars age this car is being offered as is with no warranty.
