What the photos show
- Only 1 of the 16 sampled photos loaded, the rest returned dead links, so most of this car cannot be judged from photos, budget for an in-person look before paying.
- Light blue paint looks glossy and even in the one front view, no obvious damage, so no paint bill is visible from this angle.
- Chrome grille, bumper and mirrors look bright and straight in that view, no rechrome cost showing up front.
- Dark soft top is up and looks taut in the single photo, but its rear window and seals cannot be checked, so do not assume it is leak-free.
- Seats and interior are only glimpsed dark through the windshield, cannot judge wear, so upholstery cost is unknown.
- Dash cannot be judged, it is not clearly shown in the sampled photo that loaded.
- Engine bay cannot be judged, no engine photo loaded from the sample.
- Underside cannot be judged, no underside photo loaded from the sample.
- Front wheels and tires look presentable with tread showing, no obvious replacement needed from this distance.
Money: At $23,400 the front view looks tidy, but with only 1 of 60 photos loading you are buying blind on interior, engine and rust, so the price only works after a real inspection.
