I'm selling this car on the forum for what I paid for it, but it is up for sale locally at $29,999. This car is nice and the birdcage is spectacular. listed below is the backstory of the car and some basic things that I know about it.
Backstory:
The car was original purchased in Georgia by a District judge as a gift to his son. After a few years of enjoying it a bit too much and many tickets later, the father sold the car to a friend in Ohio where it sat in the garage for over 20 years. In the mid-late 90's it went through a "complete restoration". the car was driven on and off then in 2013 started going though a "mini resstoration".
Engine honed and resealed. new pistons heads cleaned etc

There are lots of other details that i'm not covering. This car is really nice. it runs / shifts great the interior is nice and is a blast to drive. The paint is still form the 90's and although it looks nice to the average Joe and gets lots of compliments, it is not flawless. it has some stress cracks in a few places and a larger one in the center of the hood where the PO shut the hood with air cleaner stud too high. Its missing the passenger side rear interior quarter trim. these are readily available from many vendors. it wouldn't take much at all to make this a $45,000 vehicle. I'm selling it for what I paid for it $27000
Do you have any other photos, undercarriage, around the car?

I appreciate the interest in the car and will answer all questions and post pictures when I return to the States.
I think I see A/C vents. If so does it work.
Suggestion. Bring the car to Calif. with you don't think you will have any problems selling a convertible now that's it's summer. Wife and I just drove along the coast to Cambria this last weekend.
