Condition

The car has several noted issues including worn exterior trim and seals, chips and bubbling paint, holes in the convertible top, an oil leak from the timing covers and valve cover gasket, and a transmission fluid leak. There is also corrosion on underside components. While recent service has been done and the engine compression is good, these numerous cosmetic and mechanical issues prevent a higher rating.
