The power convertible top is in good working order, no tears, rips, and goes up and down smooth. The floors of the car are in superb shape, and so is the trunk and engine compartment.
The car is a turn key driver, it drives great, turns nicely in tight quarters, starts up effortlessly, and runs quiet. The brakes work great and it stops fast.
The electrical is working fine. All headlights, turn signals, and interior lights work. The weather stripping is good. The super cool Redline Tires are correct for the car, and the trim is clean and rust free. No dents on the body, doors, or hood and trunk. The body panel gaps and alignment are good. The fresh paint looks nice and really shines.
