• Convertible top is vacuum operated (up and down). Works good.
  
• Convertible top is in nice condition
• Dash / Gauges in nice condition and work

• Trunk is carpeted with a custom shelf to aid in storage

MISC

• Tires in good shape

The car has been sitting for several years (owner has passed away and was asked to sell the car for the widow). So I did go through and check all fluids and started the vehicle. A few things I did notice

• Fuel pump was a little damp with gas around the gasket
• There is an aftermarket electric pump. Works as it should, but loud
• A little oil was on the ground from sitting from the rear main seal
  
• Transmission is a three speed on the column with vacuum assist. The vacuum assist is to aid in shifting in and out of gear, not to assist with the clutch pedal in and out. At first, was difficult to get the car in gear, but as I drove the car, seemed to get better and easier to get in and out of gear. Not sure if the vacuum assist needs to be adjusted, or just driven. I do not know much about these transmissions, but wanted to describe what I found. Clutch pedal seemed fine with normal travel and engagement.

Please ask questions and review all pictures. Vehicle can be seen for inspection by appointment only, but please do not wait until 1 day before the auction ends and my schedule does not allow for last minute appointments.

Thanks for looking.
