One of the great thrills in finding this car was that it had an original factory hardtop! It even has the name of the dealer on the back window.

This hardtop was a lucky find--I actually bought a whole parts car to get it! It's painted the darker blue of 1986-1990, but it works well since it matches the interior of this car.

A lucky find: A local guy had a set of nearly new, blue vinyl Spider seats! They were a great alternative to redoing the original leather ones, which though not torn feel their age. Note also the new matching floor mats, and the hand-refinished wood steering wheel.
