no major damage. a few cosmetic dings, broken pass. mirror, scuffs. new top, about 1800 $ in repairs by PO, interior is great, PO said his PO had the engine rebuilt but my PO kind of doubts that.

hey, the wife loves it and even rode topless in it !! (you figure that one out )


around 150,000

Not bad at all, especially if its been rebuilt.

Running a compression test should give you a pretty good idea how healthy the motor is.
