Some information:

>>>>Just Smogged and Registered thru April 2022<<<

• Approximately 143,000 original miles on original engine. Still driving it so that number could change. Only driven on weekends up and down the coast.
• I’ve owned it for 23 years.
• I think I’m the second owner.
• As you can see by the pictures it has some small body modifications (Front air guard under bumper and Brake Light on rear Trunk) which make it look much slicker.
• Never driven in the rain
• Convertible top & Hard Top- I never drive with the hardtop or soft-top. Hidden soft top has only been up once in 23 years - the day I bought it- hand crank to open is with car. Has a hardtop that’s only been on car twice - when I brought it home for a photo . It’s been sitting, covered up, in my garage for the entire 23 years - I have no idea what condition it’s in. It’s the same color as car (very dark light metallic blue) and all windows on car are tinted;
• Automatic transmission – this was replaced about 10 years ago; Shifts well;
• Color – it’s a custom color, sort of dark blue but its deep; interior is MB Blue;
• Power windows work;
• All gauges work well including Odometer, tac & Clock
• Original radio is not in car -there’s a CD/radio replacement
• No tears or cracking or wear marks on interior-dash or seats. Interior is dirty. Chrome is in very good shape- needs to be cleaned.
• The Body, for its age, is very good. Some nicks and scratches on body but no dents or accidents.
• All 4 tires have very low mileage on them – 225-50R15-91H
• Wheels are very wide- nut wheel locks are on and the Bit is with car.
• Fairly new battery; always disconnected when in garage
• Car sits nice and low- you can see in pictures- that’s on purpose
• Never did anything to engine except change some hoses, brakes, tune-ups, oil changes and replace hood heat shield.
• Only use Chevron Premium Gas
• Always been garaged; Car cover included
• Two original Keys, regular one and a valet;

Some Needs:
(Needs to be cleaned/detailed)
• Anti-sway bar in rear
• Auto Antenna doesn’t go all the way down - I don’t use it since I use a Bluetooth speaker,
• Air Conditioning has never worked ( Fan works) but I never use air so it didn’t bother me; heater works
• Suspension work?

These are great, solid cars. This would be perfect for someone who wants a weekend car . Selling due to illness but I’m in no hurry. This was a birthday present for my wife and we’ve enjoyed every minute of it.

PINK Slip in hand.
