I took a ride over to check out the convertible today with my friend Robyn and bought it. The good news is the car is very nice cosmetically, the owner had 20K spent on the restoration since 2004, including 6K in the floors,bodywork and paint. The front end, engine, and brakes were also redone.
It needs carpets, bumpers and belt line rechrome to be real nice, but a excellent driver as-is. The rocker boxes are not perfect, but not bad enough to worry about in my opinion. I have a picture of the car before paint and no rust was showing, but there is some putty in the rear of the front fenders that I detected with my refrigerator magnet, but is not a visible repair.
BTW, does the interior/exterior color look close to stock, and should I install the factory wheels and hub caps ?
