I bought this car last year withthe intent of doing a small but good restoration. The body, ngine and trans r in good shape. I am more of an interior person than a mechanic so this car fit my needs. It is in really good mechanical condition and has no rust. Shifts as it should with no sync issue.I was doing very well working on it after work and weekends until I injured my knee. Dr says i need a knee replacement. Not gonna do that untill i have to. So the project came to ahalt.I have OVER 4500.00 invested and as they say my loss is your gain.Needs the interior... new carpet and new leather on the seats... foam and seat r n good condition. Doorpanels also need replacing. The convertable top is in poor condition but could be repaired or used as a pattern to make a new one.I hate to sell it but I just cant get around like I used to. This will really make someone a cool little car. Not much else left to do. Not a basket case for sure!!!! Good Luck!!!!
