I've received some requests for more details on the interior and undercarriage, and whether or not the car is able to make a long-distance drive.

To reiterate, this car has been my daily driver for the last two years. The car ran a bit warm when I first got it, which is why I replaced the entire cooling system. Phoenix summers are not forgiving of inadequate cooling systems.

I have changed the oil/filters regularly since I got the car. The last oil change was about 1000 miles ago. At that time I also serviced (flush / filter change) the transmission, and the old fluid was still in good condition. There was no "burn" smell, nor were there any filings / sludge / crud in the tranny pan.

I have placed a vinyl patch over a hole in the drivers seat (refer to the pictures), and there is a small puncture in the passenger seat. The vinyl on the seats is still soft, but is starting to give way in the seat bottoms themselves. The seat backs of both the driver and passenger seat are both really scratched up. I don't know if it is possible to recondition them or not. The back seat is in excellent condition, but the rear deck under the rear window is shot.

As I stated earlier, the dashboard has been replaced with a black one, and the vinyl & padding is in excellent condition. There are no cracks at all, and if you check the picture, you'll see it is very pliable.

Getting back to the question about whether the car is able to make a long distance drive, I'm quite confident in the mechanical ability of the car to do so. However, the weatherstrip is absolutely shot (I have new kits, see picture). The wind noise at any speed greater than about 50 MPH is pretty unbearable. Driving this way for any significant amount of time can be very tiresome. When I drove the car from Hollywood to Phoenix, I was absolutely exhausted at the end of the trip.
