The car was sitting outside under a car cover. I expected that it is in worse shape. Looks like I need a new top, but will see if somebody can put in a new rear plastic window, etc.
The body is actually in good shape, a good cleaning and buffing should bring the paint back to life. The underside looks good, no signs of rust, even the gas tank has no dents, or scratches. I will start removing the interior, and see what's under the carpet. I lifted the carpet behind the rear seats and it was dry and found no rust. Still need to find out about the engine. Cheers Engelbert
