What it needs are new seat upholstery ( available for about $419 at international-auto.com), carpets are in pretty good shape for age as I always use mats, and I have a new speedo cable that I have yet to install as the speedo stopped working last year. It could also use a new radio and antenna as the radio works, but not the tape deck (I think it's original) . It also has some rust coming through on the rocker panels below the doors. Also, both door locks are non-functional. I have the cylinders and key but have not fixed them as I never use them because it would be a waste of time to lock a convertible and then there's the fact the the replacing a top (cut to get in) would cost more than anything in the car.
This has been a great car, getting about 25-30 mpg and fun to drive. Always get comments on it. Bought it on Ebay several years ago, flew to Ohio and drove it back to Vegas. I would have no problem hopping in it and driving cross country right now.
I can provide additional pictures on request.

Will consider partial trades for photo equipment, motorcycles, sporting goods
In my opinion, this is one of the best sports cars ever made in it's class. It is a 5 speed, fuel injected, 4 cylinder hemi engine that gets 25-30 mpg, is a blast to drive, and has a large trunk for a sports car so you can actually carry stuff if on a trip.
