i didn't say no options

it's a real side pipe car but not a hard top car. no tilt/tel, no power brakes/steering, std interior,it does have a radio! i do have a rough tilt/tel 69 column that i might have to resurrect.

It's got a 4 speed, chrome bumpers, chrome sidepipes, it has a decent paint job, a great hardtop, a radio, it is together and it runs! What more do you need?! ENJOY!

Very nice

The few options it has are very nice. A convertible with a hard top, 350 horse and sidepipes sounds well optioned to me. Enjoy it.

it's funny that you said "decent paintjob" the seller said it was a 5 footer. when it got here it was wet and a little dirty and it looked like a 2 footer! then i washed it and realized he was right. but it's weird though, you can see the flaws then blink and they "hide". it must be the retina scorching orange
