Vehicle Detail
Not a "mint" factory specimen but still in excellent condition.Good running and looking! Mostly original with both the full and bikini tops. A modern cd player and speakers have been added.I bought this in the Fall of '08 to use as a weekend beach buggy in FL. Two months later I lost my job there so I towed to OH where it's been in the garage since.It as been started and driven minimally the past couple of summers.It also has an easily removable tow bar for use with a 2" ball.Several service manuals are also includedThanks for looking!On Nov-29-11 at 08:51:29 PST, seller added the following information: Several people have asked about rust. I see very little, especially for a vehicle of this age. It as been garaged since I bought it. I've posted additional photos that I took this morning. I have no knowledge of, nor do I see evidence of body work. I stress that I am not a car collector or mechanic. Just try to give my honest observation and opinion.I could give an "expert" opinion only if this were a toy train or piece of AV equipment!The more I look closely at this vehicle I think I've set the reserve to low! She really appears to be in great shape! Thank you everyone for your interest.
