Paint and interior are in fair shape. Front seat's original vinyl upholstery material is badly split and seat covers have been installed. The rear seat is original and does have one large split in the cushion. Floor boards are solid throughout. The soft-top is an older "Bestop" brand made in Boulder, olorado. The top is in very good condition, ut does have one small repair in the center, op section approximately the size of a quarter. The plastic windows show some slight yellowing and scratches, ut all are intact and serviceable. Exterior paint shows some scratches, potting and nicks from being driven and used. The worst area is a few large scratches along the passenger side (see photos) whichoccurredsometime during storage, ut could likely be touched up. This is what I would describe as "a ten-footer".

The odometer shows 37,692 miles, ut the actual mileage is unknown (it could be original miles or 137,000+).
