I'd definately check the to see what mods were made to the
frame to strenghten it to be a drop-top. I wasn't aware the factory did
that. Never heard of it before. Highly unlikely but I could be
wrong.

soft top, which would be much more comfortable to drive in the summer than
the coupe. It has the original cosmic wheels and 6 cylinder engine. It's a
pity the mileage wasn't listed but the B30A drivetrain is strong and can be
easily rebuilt. The body looks to be in good shape but it's difficult to
tell from a few photos. A new windscreen is around $1000 FOA USA, $1000 plus
for a decent paint job and say $1000 for a new top (I haven't a clue
really). Mine is valued at around US$21,000, so I'd say the price isn't bad.
However, being located in Cape Cod may be a warning to check out the chassis
up front. It's likely the salt air has caused deterioration if it hasn't
been kept dry.
