It’s also rock solid, with almost no evidence of rust. One the passenger quarter panel behind the rear wheel is a small amount of paint bubbles about the size of a quarter. This is the only rust I could detect on the whole car body and undercarriage.ANYWHERE! The underside is also solid, with great frame rails, perfect torque boxes and original floor pans. The panels on this car are show great fit.. The car was professionally restored several years ago to a nice show car. The car now has a few scratches and touched up paint chips. There is some checking on the deck lid as shown in the pictures. The condition of the car is now a great driver, local show, weekend warrior. When this convertible was repainted, they used a base coat – clear coat application, very high quality prep and application, with no over-spray or orange peel. The paint was then professionally buffed to a high gloss. The underside is in excellent condition, and I could not detect any rust at all. The doors, trunk and hood all open and shut properly, and all of the glass is good. The roof is a 2-piece fiberglass roof with a glass rear window. The roof comes off with 2 bolts and 2 wing nuts, and can be removed in less than 2 minutes.
