What the photos show
- Red paint is glossy and even on every panel in the outdoor photos, with doors, hood and rear deck sitting straight and gaps looking consistent — no paint or body budget from these photos.
- Chrome bumpers, side spears, rocker trim and hubcaps are bright with no visible pitting or dents, and the headlight stone guards are in place — no chrome budget from these photos.
- Black folding top is only shown folded under its cover, and the cover looks clean and untorn — no top budget from these photos, but the raised top and its fit cannot be judged here.
- Interior is only glimpsed from the rear three-quarter views — red dash and black trim visible but no close photo — so seats and cockpit wear cannot be judged from these photos.
- Engine bay looks tidy and honest, black tinware with light dust and no visible oil mess or corrosion — no cosmetic engine-bay budget from these photos, and mechanical condition cannot be judged from a photo.
- No underside photos are included in the viewed set, so floors and sills cannot be judged — on a 356 that inspection is where the real money question sits.
Money: the photos suggest no paint or chrome money — the spend to plan is an in-person underside and interior inspection before anything else.
