Front tires great, like new. Back tires are wearing a little thin. White walls are painted on. Starts, runs, drives, stops. Wants to stop running once in a while when you first start it might need to adjust carb. Bare metal seats. Grenade shift knob. Top is a stick on carbon fiber look; and carpet on the underside can be taken out if you don’t like it or for a convertible type ride. Paint job is nice and glossy, looks like it has some clear coat runs that could probably be buffed out but I just left them, in good condition except for normal wear and on passenger side back quarter panel has some wear and paint chips and scratches (see photos). Small rust holes appear to be starting on both passenger and driver side bottom quarter panels but are not bad. Small rust hole on drivers floor pan. Dent in the back driver’s side between motor and taillight. Rear back panel with Maltese cross is made out of sheet metal and has small wavy pop out dents that could be popped out due to the material. Speedometer cable is not hooked up but is there. Not sure of actual mileage since speedometer is not hooked up. Get attention wherever you go!!! On Sep-30-13 at 15:41:09 PDT, seller added the following information: Has been converted to 12 volt. Battery hidden under seat. Speedo says 71,250 don't know how long previous owner had it disconnected. I have only owned car for a year, selling only because of financial troubles. ThanksOn Sep-30-13 at 22:15:42 PDT, seller added the following information: Front can be lowered or raised by front beam. Front left hand headlight needs new bulb. Previous owner painted whitewalls with spray paint and some kind of other paint. They will flake off , I have touched them up many times(pain to do)If you can't afford whitewalls don't use house or spray paint buy rubberized whitewall paint .
