I purchased the vehicle last spring from the original owner’s son. The original owner took very good care of the car. I had several repairs performed as preventative maintenance after purchasing the vehicle. It is in very good condition and drvies great. EXTERIOR: Minor paint chips, scratches and 2 very small spots of rust (as shown in the pictures) as should be expected on a vehicle of this age. The paint is not original but is a good repaint. There is a paint defect below the gas tank door that can be seen when sunny and standing from the right angle. The previous owner must have left the fuel cap off at some point causing the paint flaw. This vehicle is being sold with the hard top. It will be shipped/delivered to the purchaser with the hard top installed. INTERIOR: Seats are original to the vehicle and are slightly faded. The leather is otherwise in good condition. No tears or major defects of the seats and door panels. The passenger door pocket and soft top boot lid has leather very slightly peeling up along the edge. The dash has slight cracks near the windshield, as is common in this model. The wood trim is in good/very good condition; one slight chip located on the trim near the shift lever. The chrome trim piece on the outside of the driver's seat is cracked/damaged. Sunvisors are original and in good condition. I have a set of custom coco mats installed in the front. Preventative maintenance repairs performed last spring: - Timing chain (double roller chain update had already been installed by the previous owner). Replaced the upper timing chain rails and chain tensioner. - Camshaft oiler tubes replaced - Air idle valve replaced - Wheels have been repainted.
