Overall good condition; with a repaint in red, paint shows well with some blistering under paint to drivers side lower fender. A nest of sorts was discovered in the fender and removed, likely damage from animal waste; both floor pans appear to have been covered on the inside with a galvanized material and extends the length of floorpan on both side. With a small hole in each floorpan, the extent of decay didn't warrant replacing the otherwise solid floorpans; a dash cover has been fitted over the original dash; door panels have been recovered and need repair to drivers side (speaker is loose); the glovebox has a crack in door; convertible top has tear in typical location, and some buttons/snaps are missing; vent control knob turns, however cannot move from screen vents, and Off position continues to blow from screen if fan running; no other apparent concerns.
