Car looks, runs, and drives fantastic.
Color shows up a little darker in the sun than it is in person. See thumbnail in video below for more accurate shade.

Spent most of its life in CA and Colorado. Nice dry climates, and had an original color repaint and full rebuild of the engine (documented) less than 16K miles ago. Was in Seattle the past 6 years but always garaged and never driven in the rain.
Prior owner spent over $13K on full older restoration/repaint/rebuild all around. Car still shows extremely well.
Features:
Air conditioning (aftermarket Porschaire) converted to R134a, though you'll need to recharge every few months.
Alpine stereo with high performance amp.
Metal fuel lines
New Bosch starter, fuel pump
Original interior material. Center console has a tear on the right side. (one small repair on passenger seat 1/2 inch on seat bottom).
Original carpets. Very nice condition.
Interior is really clean, dash is perfect (no cracks).
Targa top in great condition.
All switches, electricals, lights, etc work fine.
Ziebart rustproofing
Minimal rust and none in the usual trouble spots (floor pans, longs, hell hole/battery, etc). Structurally very sound. No issues.
Some surface rust throughout - see pics. Surface rust on rear valance.

Issues:
- 2011 accident: Front driver's side corner was hit while I was parked. A car parked in the next stall hit me while it was pulling out (turned too soon, hit at low speed). Insurance repaired it and it looks great.
- The paint looks great in the pictures but on close inspection you can see some chips here and there
- Slight dimple in lower rear valance, which is also where you'll see the most rust.
- The wiper blade arms could use a repaint.
- Rip in center console, crack in interior domeless light cover
