Good

Tires replaced 2,000 miles ago
new radiator 4 years ago

Hagerty values this car in fair condition at $2300 without the additional hardtop. The perfect candidate for mild restoration work or to turn into the weekend autocross or racer.
This was my summer driving car and was not driven in winter the entire time I owned it since 2007. It has always been a fun reliable car that puts a smile on your face and the cost of ownership is very affordable. Put a new engine and a little bit of work and this car will jump up the value later quickly.
