@jpadly – Do you have any pictures of the undercarriage? Thanks for responding. ...
I thought we included some, if not, then no. There are some rust issues. Expect some body work and it can become a nice car.
Back to the tires, my mechanic said only the left rear tire looks questionable, the other three look good even though they have some age to them.

@jpadly – In one of the pics are those extra convertible top locks? ...
There is a pair of extra locks, however one has a broken latch. The two that are mounted work.

@jpadly – Why aren't the heater hoses hooked up to the heater core. Does the heater core leak? ...
It’s not uncommon to bypass the heater in a convertible but the shape of the core is anyone’s guess.
I don’t know the age of the tires. They came with the car. My mechanic will look at the tires but there’s no sign of dry rot. I drove the car less than 140 miles to get to my shop
How old are the tires? Can the car be driven from your location, 250 miles as is?
I honestly don’t know. I think I explained that I bought the car for my daughter and she found one she liked better. I drove it to my shop and I was in the middle of moving to another state so it just sat there until I had time to sell it.
