Vehicle description
Have you seen the Hagerty 2019 Best Ten List? This car is on it. About 100 made with this combination. Last year as you know. The paint is original and retains about 75% of gloss. There are three door dings (pimple size) in various places and could be removed by paintless methods in all probability. Two chrome strips held down by small screws are visible. You can see LR taillight has some minor cloudiness on top but is almost unnoticeable. I have the third seat as well as the cargo roof rails. The wood floor in back lifts up to access storage where the third seat was and there is a prop to hold it open. About 10 cubic feet of storage there. You can easily reinstall the seat if you want and still leave the wood there but it would be a slight incline. No mechanical issues at all. Doesn"t burn or leak oil. Power to spare. I hate to use the phrase "ice cold air" because of course if the air coming out of the vents was truly ice cold, the evaporator would clog up. So it"s cold, OK? And yes the evaporator has even been replaced. The "Pass Key" light is on however. Apparently someone bypassed the key chip sensor but it doesn"t affect any functions. Original manual and brochure. A potential buyer had it inspected and it"s all good. Deal didn"t close because he wanted to knock the price down, probably for resale. The Hagerty valuation price is $13000 to $18000. I know this sounds high which is why the price is what it is. Prior owner and I have done all the replacement to accessory mechanical components like Optispark, tie rods, oil cooler lines and etc. New tires. Trans oil and filters changed twice so as to remove all the fine grit that eventually is the downfall of these and other auto transmissions. Diff oil changed. Who does that? So you get the idea. Like the back side of the wheels. *see photo before and after* The factory leaves the rough-ish aluminum casting surface inside but polishes the front. So there is inevitable pitting on the back or inside of the wheels. I wire brushed it all off and painted with a bright chrome finish. All the little places where car polish accumulates in the many many trim pieces has been fastidiously removed. So it shows like it might be concours level but really it"s not. I hesitate to give it a category number because I"m not an expert at that art. It is great for Cars and Coffee events however. It has such presence. If the photos don"t convince you that it"s worth what the listing price is, then maybe my pics are not so great. How many of the listings you see talk candidly about rust? They say lots of stuff like never driven in salt. These cars do have some rust issues inevitably from rain. You can treat it or ignore it. I have chosen to treat it and so you see the photo of the wheel well. There was some flaky rust in all the wells (about 10 square inches each) but wire brushed to shiny metal, painted with rust converter and then glassed and then painted or flex-sealed. Same for the rear seat foot wells about 6 square inches each. Same for spare tire well. And while I was at it, the entire underside has been wire brushed and either rust preserver-ed or rust converter or flex sealed where I thought first two steps inadequate. There are a few places where I couldn"t get at it even with a Dremel but it"s just the kind of pitting you would expect on the undersurfaces. No exterior sheet metal rust except one spot of about two square inches. The repaint there would be hard to find. No doors, rockers, etc. It has been in my heated and cooled garage for three years since I bought it. So pampered and cherished. But driven hard every two weeks or so. By hard I mean highway (plus) speeds and given half throttle or more when I can. I do believe a little in "Italian Tune Ups" so as to keep the rings seated. Recent potential buyer had it inspected and it"s all good.
