Car shows very well, and appears to be well represented. At that price point I am sure some of our So Cal members in the Costa Mesa area are familliar with this coupe.

I spent 1 1/2 hours inspecting this vehicle and talking with Jeff Tighe about it. The interior (everything 'red' & the headliner) needs to be re-done to make it SUPER nice, but it's pretty darn nice 'as-is'...
 
why is the trunk black?

painting just half the car seems kind of odd, and bubbles don't result from "prep". They always indicate some issue with the underlying surface (even if it's not rusted all the way thru ... yet).

Still, nice car, wish it had a sunroof and the red's kinda bright for my tastes (maybe the lighting)
 
Watermarks in the pictures make it difficult to look closely. Nice looking car, however.
 
Looks like when they painted the lower half they painted the "splash guard" under the front bumper silver also. But the fact it is there seems to be a good sign about originality.

+1 IMO Rockers need close scrutiny on this one.
 
I spoke with the fella that worked on this car prior to it being marketed. He described it as a very solid car that was essentially rust free, but a little tired and really needing a restoration. He described it as an excellent candidate.
