From the auction description: "Straight, soild [sic], unmolested original car in fresh Pimento red...originally French Blue, but was painted Pimento some time ago...a complete color change. All jambs, floor, engine bay and trunk floor were painted..."
Short of a body-off restoration, why would anyone repaint the FLOORS, they being totally covered by carpeting, etc.? And that floor looks darned good for a driver's side footwell...no trace of the blue underneath!? And there seem to be a fair number of "improvements" to a car with only 18k miles.
I'd want to inspect such a car very closely myself. :confuse:

Like has been stated above. the statement "unmolested original" dosen't hold much water here. Not saying anything agenst the cars actual condition, or trying to run down the sellers description. I don't think he's being deceptive, he just interprets that phrase far differently than I do. I think he's looking at it as "it hasen't been extensivly modified from stock"
And the seller has good feedback.
Things I note are
The ride height in the rear is awfully high, Seller states new springs installed. that would explain it, but it still sits funny.
There is a generic aftermarket electric fuel pump mounted under the car. Why? May just be backup, may be someones modification.
The center brace that goes from the dash, around the trans tunnel, and to the floor, is missing. that's gonna give you some terrible cowel shake until it's replaced
But that's all relativly minor stuff. All in all from the pics, it looks fairly decent and solid.
If it passes a good personal inspection, It'd probably be a good car to start with.
