@groovymotors – Could I please see the floor pans from inside the car? Foot areas as well as under rear seat. Also a close up of the sunroof handle. The handle looks incorrect for the year if a factory sunroof. The headliner is definitely not original as it would have had cloth. However it is possible someone found an aftermarket handle. The other issue is when closed the handle should be facing the drivers side not passenger side. Thanks in advance! ...

Please note that the photos Garage Kept Motors sent have been added to the end of the photo gallery.

I took photo of the sunroof handle and what I could get for the floors and sent them to AutoHunter. The carpet is glued down and from what I can tell the floor pans are coated in a bitumen sound deadening material that the insulation is adhered to. Even if all the carpet came up, we wouldn't be able to see anything other than the black coating.
