Original color which was a custom special order color (looks like a sky or baby blue) and is visible in a lot of areas. The way it is now is the way it was purchased.The convertible top is not original either. According to the Marti Report, the car came with a Parchment (off white or cream) colored top with a glass rear window. Current one is black with a plastic window.Interior is all original in Parchment color.Exterior has rust in areas as can be seen in the photos.Front and rear bumpers have some damage on them as seen in the photos.I am selling this car AS-IS, NO WARRANTY.This is a used car that is 45 years old and is being sold as is.Due to this vehicle being in storage for 34 years, trailering or towing is required Normal.dotm 0 0 1 25 144 Heim Family iMac 1 1 176 12.0 0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false Call me at 812-639-3491 if you have any questions.

The cooling fan was turned a little bit today and the engine turned freely, so I guess that means the engine is not seized up which is a good thing. Figured most of you would like to know that!

Hopefully some of these will show some of the areas that I have been getting questions about! Thanks, Kurt
