    "is complete, but will need a restoration". I always wonder why sellers write descriptions like this without being more specific. Why does it require "restoration"? Is the frame rusted out? Does the convertible top leak? What? You'd think people who are in the business of selling cars would clue in to this.

    Yah, seems remarkably complete and in pretty decent shape. It certainly would have helped if the seller just mentioned the major issue(s) it has. I'm guessing the engine is D.O.A., and/or it's got major rust underneath.
