What the photos show
- Beige paint is glossy and the body looks straight in the outdoor photos, no paintwork needed.
- Chrome bumpers and hubcaps shine well, no replating bill.
- The brown soft top looks new and fits taut with a clear rear window, no top replacement to budget.
- Brown seats and dash present clean with light honest wear, no retrim needed.
- Engine bay is tidy and original-looking; a detail would lift it, but no big spend shows.
- The underside photo shows surface rust blooming across the floor pans under old coating, so budget a proper inspection and rust treatment before paying top money.
- Several gallery photos are old service invoices, and they help: an engine overhaul bill from 1982 and long dealer history are in the file.
- One 2021 invoice in the photos lists front brakes, shocks, motor mounts and subframe mounts as still needed, so that deferred work is real money to set aside.
Money: at $125,000 the top side looks like the money, but the rusty-looking floors and the documented brakes, shocks and mounts list mean holding back several thousand for the underside before calling it fairly priced.
