Amazing condition SE on Ebay
Only 37k and looks like it just rolled off the showroom!

couple of observations.
notice in the close ups how the paint has quite a bit of orange peel? this is correct. however the body should be arrow straight.
i do see that the spark plug wires are the originals, and the AC pipe is undamaged, so the clutch is probably the original (the dashpot dents the pipe when the trans comes out), the hose clamps are the originals too.
the gauge needles are orange from the factory, and are the first thing to fade, so this car is nice, but it has been out in the sun enough to fade the needles, and the door panels are starting to turn as well.
the wheels are polished, which is incorrect.
so the car looks well presented, and seems to be a really nice well maintained car.

Sometimes when the original wheels are in bad shape, not much you can do besides polishing them out to make them look good again.
As nice as it looks, I would never buy a car from pictures alone. Gotta see it in person.

So I went and looked at my engine bay, and sure enough! there were those dents in the AC pipe you talked about. So I know my Clutch has been replaced (at least once!).
