I purchased it last summer on BaT and used it as my daily driver for a bit until my Bronco arrived. Since then it's been used for weekend jaunts and drives to the lake. Garaged over the winter. It looks great and drives and performs flawlessly. There are a few small stone chips on the body, an almost imperceptible ding on the rear trunk lid, minor curb rash on the undersurface of the front bumper, and a tiny chip on the front windshield. Convertible top is in excellent condition. I did add a couple modern touches, ie. an Alpine audio receiver, a cup holder (sorry purists), and all-weather floor mats. Why am I selling? Well, I'm planning on getting a 997 and my wife said I can only keep one!
