You are right about being in top shape to get top price, but I just wanted to show an honest car about almost being a barn find. The dust will wash off , but once its off it won't show the same. to loksch: there are no mods to the car , it is as it came from the factory. ( I really can't think of a reason to make it go faster! or change the look! to me its stunning! And there are not very many around so to me, there is little need to make it look different. ) The only repair that was made was to have the headlamp lens replaced while under warranty. It was adult owned and driven only by me since I got it at 3000 miles. It was always garaged. It was always an intown car. The longest trip that I drove it was two hrs. BTW I still have the luggage ( unused )that came with it and it goes to the new owner. It also comes with a A/C D/C CD- Back in Black. ( Really the only music that should be played with the top down. IMHO )
