Reproduction fully functional ram air hood and intake assembly installed. Besides new body mounts and door hinge pins no real body/paint work was done in the 10yrs we've owned it. The paint is 27yrs old and in good driver condition. Does have some flaws and is not show condition. Car has no rust. Power top operates properly with new pump. Black vinyl top has glass rear window but does have a 3-4" cut on both sides. Interior is also nice driver quality but does have some flaws. Both front seat bottoms are split and dry cracked, the dash also has a crack. The driver's seat belt retractor plastic cover is missing. The air conditioning was ice cold until I leaned on a hose and cracked the flange where the o-ring sits. The freon now leaks out pretty fast. I'm in the process of trying to find a replacement hose. Everything else operates correctly. Some options include Rally Pac gauges w/Tic-Toc-Tach. Hurst "His&Hers" shifter, Rally steering wheel, and I installed a Bluetooth audio unit w/remote in the glove box. It does not have power windows or power door locks. It has the original GM keys for doors and trunk. Also includes Car cover and many extras. Clean SC Title. Runs and Drives excellent, Our family has taken this car on many long trips in the past few years with no issues. We'll be very sad to see it go.
