What’s special about this listing
Good cosmetic condition (interior and exterior) except rear window needs resealing or top replacing. Convertible top still operates. Engine needs work. Likely head gasket needs replacing. Will start + run but after ~10-15 miles or so will start to run hot. 5 speed manual transmission good. New spark plugs, new valve cover gasket, new ignition coil boots, tires under 1 year old, brake pads and rotors replaced 5 months ago. This has a lot of original components in good condition; ideal for an enthusiast ready to rebuild on a good foundation.
