Interior is in good condition. (Small tear on passenger door panel) It does not have a top. It needs a wiper motor. There is a small oil leak off the rear engine seal. Drivers door outside latch not working (this is a common problem).

Car starts and runs great. 3500 RPM at 85 miles an hour. No shimmies or shakes. Stops well and straight.
