Somehow I didn’t get a notification from BaT about this listing. Definitely a rougher “driver” class with wear/tear on the door paint and leather and lots of items listed as nonop. However the rest of the Malaga paint photographs well, and the underside shots don’t raise any rust red flags. The visible portions of the rockers look fine.

Thoughts?

on a very quick look, this looks interesting - a 1 family owned car??? the original michelin XAS spare tire! this looks like a well preserved car - sure, there are some things, but it looks like a great starting point. i haven't seen many fuse box doors open with the wiring that looks like its never been touched. something very odd about the paint in the trunk and engine compartment. its been repainted at some point - all of the sound insulation is gone off the inner fenders. overall, it looks worthwhile

now why would somebody post a picture of the key - with the code visible? not smart for the potential buyer
