Took a real hard look, it just has some odd vibes. For example the paint appears to be original, but then I can see green paint on the gasket that goes between the hardtop sides and the top edge of the rear tub. Also if you look inside the cowl vent, the dampener that moves up and down is painted green and I was under the impression it was supposed to be black from the factory. The frame is in remarkable condition for a Maine vehicle, but the body has significant rust. The areas near where the roll bar mounts under the jump seats is terrible, the rear sill might as well be gone. Some of the interior looks so new that it’s bizarre. The headliner for example looks brand new. The seats look almost new. But you can can see factory stickers and markings all over, stuff you rarely see. The real issue is the mice have had their way with it…there’s no telling how bad the damage could be. The thing that ultimately made me walk away: the engine. He had someone try and get it running, but he basically disassembled everything and just threw it in the rear. It’s difficult to tell why but my guess is they found bad news otherwise they would have it back together and running. I still stupidly want to buy it so I’m hoping that nobody bites and he calls me back at the end of the week. I own property about 15 miles away where I can store it for the winter.
