American Libre style wheels
86,263 miles (may or may not be actual)
Good:

Needs Attention
-Paint is not matching in areas (I guess it is hard to match Spanish Red)
-Choke is under dash (not a problem unless you are a purist, can be moved back to center console)
-Has a dash cap
-I believe the carbs need syncing or needs a fuel pump (will start and idle fine, but under load, it will start to sputter and slowly die out)
-Has a slight leak from under the engine (hasn't bothered me, because what older vehicles don't have a drip every now and then? I just keep an eye on it)
-Trunk key doesn't work (has the emergency wire pull from the locking mechanism, common fix for these cars)
-Common second gear grind when down shifting (I shift to neutral and brake when slowing)
Winning bidder will need to tow the Roadster or arrange shipping pick up.
