I Purchased it this summer at auction with the intention of track rating it between the roof and the diff it seemed like a good grab. I gave it a full lube flush, until the oil ran clean, also replacing the transmission and rear diff with redline fluids. The engine seems to pull strong, and steering feels good. I can't think of any features that don't work honestly, with the exception of the AC. The Bad:She's leaky, in more ways than one. the soft top has some tears along the rain rail, and the trunk leaks from somewhere. I have a full replacement soft top that will come with the car, it just needs to be bolted in.. Trunk? haven't figured that one out. The hard top seems to do a good job keeping things out of the cabin though.. due to the aformentioned leaking, there is a bit of a funk. There is some rust.. this is clearly a car that was driven in the winter, but it seems isolated to one rocker panel. There are both coolant and oil leaks of indeterminate origin, but the coolant leak seems to be high enough that i haven't run into any overheating problems even when it's a bit low. It doesn't appear to be from the radiator, likely a seal, probably at the t-stat but haven't been able to nail it down.
