Nope, run away from that one. Body is horrible in so many ways. Frame rusted. I would be afraid of it falling apart on you driving away.
Seats are from 60 series. Although it has the AC and PS it has been thrown together. If I recall your budget was around $12,500.
You can do much better

I guess seller doesn't know what rust is. Maybe mice chewed up the corners of the top? Damn Okies...

Uncle Sam is really sticking it to me this year so after filing my taxes this week, I have decided I must sell my beloved 40. I bought it almost a year ago and have spent a lot of time and money to make it mechanically sound, with plans to focus on the body later (enjoy the scars for now). I now...

Thank you! And I have one other question about this one.. a lot of the ones that I’ve found on Craigslist have around a one inch gap between the top of the door and the hard top. Thanks!
Keep em coming. My first was bought out of lust. Don't make same mistake! This will be fun and you will eventually end up with decent cruiser!

Thank you, and I agree it’s a solid rig however I really need one with a hard top because of how hot and how often it rains here in Florida.
Yes on the rain but hard top just makes them hotter lol
Unless you're talking about adding AC
Honestly tops are nice to have but they are like a sauna in the heat. Mine was unbearable during summer in Oklahoma before moving to CO. You could find a soft top for it and it would be very functional.
Just my 2 cents, but i get it find what you want. Tops can also be found with little searching.

Yes, I would also like to add AC.
how well do the soft tops hold up? Like a few years..? Or like the rest of it’s life..?

And also a benefit for me of having a hard top is having a roof rack on it too.
If taken care of I bet you could get some good years out of one and buy time while getting your hard top or you find another 40!
I suggest researching this closely. It's not as easy as just finding oem components and installing. It requires a pretty good amount of work and a custom kit ($$$$).
