About this car

What the photos show
- Grey paint is glossy and even, door and rear wing close-ups smooth with clean reflections — no paint budget from these photos.
- Chrome bumpers, side trim, handles and hubcaps are bright — no re-chrome money needed.
- Wide whitewalls are bright with deep tread in the wheel close-up — no tire spend from these photos.
- The tan ragtop is shown slid fully open, fabric clean and the aperture tidy — sealing when closed can't be judged, so test it shut.
- Brown seats seen through the glass and the clean dash and parcel shelf look tidy — no full interior shot in the gallery, so check the seats in person before ruling out trim money.
- Engine is only shown in one tight, dusty close-up of the generator and coil area — overall engine condition can't be judged from it, budget for a proper look.
- Underside on a lift shows fresh black textured coating over the pans, which look straight — coating hides detail, so probe the usual pan edges at inspection.
- Front trunk is clean and painted, with no spare visible in the photo — confirm a spare is included before assuming no spend.
Money: the paint, chrome, whitewalls and coated underside support the $49,000 ask; the engine close-up is too tight to judge and the ragtop's seal is the must-test item.
