@Robert8198 – Does the convertible top have a tonneau cover for when it's down? ...
There is no tonneau cover. The top is hidden completely behind the seats. I will try to get a picture of it stowed tomorrow. Thanks.
@Rob54 – Is there a reserve? ...
Yes there is thanks
@surfdoggie – I am not sure if you understood my questions - my question about the Complete Restoration (about 2019). My definition of a Complete Restoration would be - body to bare metal & repaint, chassis repainted, suspension, interior, chrome, engine, trans, electrical, etc. what is your definition of a Complete Restoration? It doesn’t appear that we have this info. Like I said - Even this amount of surface rust on the chassis of a Complete Restoration seems very odd for a lightly driven 5 years. Surf Doggie ...
Not a frame off restoration. Complete being interior and exterior paint. Since it was done before we had the car we have no idea if it was a bare metal restoration. The body is as straight as an arrow and all the panels appear to be original not replaced and there is no evidence of extensive body work at all. The car came from California and then Georgia so I believe that the surface rust on the frame is from being driven in the rain, no northeast winters. The frame was not sandblasted and repainted no. I think the photographs provide a reasonable assessment of condition and anyone, including an inspection service is welcomer to do a third party evaluation of the car. Thanks
