Just got the car back from theupholsteryshop and had a brand new White convertible top put on ,with a glass back window, new top pads and new top back well liner installed . The car runs decent but could use a good tune up engine has lots of power engine runs very cool with no overheatingissues . i drove this car on the freeway for 30 miles and it ran good Tires hold air but need to be replaced for safe driving There is a small dent in the right rear quarter topside as seen in photo.
