In good condition.
Registered. Motor starts and running strong.
Plastic window in original canvas top need to be fixed (an aftermarket canvas replacement costs only )
I just installed a new refurbished aluminum body AC Servo, but need to check vacuum lines and charge refrigerant, so currently not working. Blower is working.
Front wheel bearings need attention.
Minor other fixes needed such as replacing a few instrument light bulbs, brake light sensor.
