This truly is an awesome car. The car is pretty much exactly as it was when I bought it 17 years ago other than I replaced the carpet, added a stereo, and a new stainless exhaust.

All of the cosmetic defects shown in the pictures (and noted) existed when I bought the car. @Gregpryckman the AC does not blow cold. I never cared to have it checked out as I only drive the car with the top down and figured I would never use it if it did in fact work properly. I always considered the \u201cwing\u201d windows to be the A/C! As far as an exhaust manifold leak....I just had the car in the shop to have a general look over and to check all fluids. They did not mention anything about a manifold leak. How would I know? (I am certainly no car expert and clearly not mechanically inclined but will do my best to get answers) Please keep the questions coming and if I can provide any further information or pictures please reach out.
