The radiator is in good condition.
The wire wheels are in good condition. There is no visible rust.
The paint on the wheels is in good condition.
It is solid and free of rust.
It has dual 6 volt batteries. These are new - less than a year old.

The top is in good solid condition. I don't believe I've ever actually used
it. The rear window has yellowed a bit, but overall it is in structurally sound.
There is no rust on the metal components of the top. It functions just like it should.
There are a few small "snags" on it and a partial hole about the size of a pencil eraser.
All the buttons are there and the latches work. There is a small fabric tear
on the passenger side where it hooks up to the frame.

The side panels are in excellent condition.

Area of surface rust behind the cockpit.
It is on the surface only. It is from condensation that built up
under the tonneau cover.

Spot on the hood was there when I bought it 11 years ago. It hasn't gotten any worse in those 11 years.

A small indent around the rear driver wheel. It is less noticeable in person than shows in this photo.

I purchased it on August 10, 2002 in Pennsylvania at auction.

The mileage was 55,320 when I purchased it.
