Body is in great shape and straight. No body damage or major dents. Few rust spots, but frame appears solid (see pictures). Newer paint job looks good - I believe this is an original factory spec color. Most of the electronics seem to work fine. Speedo was replaced and reads 23k, but I believe it is over 100k, exact milage is unknown.Roll bar installed for extra safety. Back seat was removed for this, but I still have some of the rear cushion. Newer vinyl top closes easily. Aftermarket sounds system is great. Tires and wheels are in great shape. Engine fan has been rewired, it was not working for a little bitm which caused engine to slightly overheat, but that no longer seems to be an issue because the fan kicks on as soon as you turn the key. Also sometimes it is a little tricky getting into reverse, but just takes a little extra effort. Otherwise seems to drive and handle just fine.Car is in great shape for its age. Drive a classic Italian sports car, styled by Pininfarina. These cars only appreciate in value as the years go on. This one is a ton of fun to drive, truly feels like the sports car it was meant to be.
