Thanks guys (and gal). The car is owned by my brother Gary and I. Gary found it on Craigslist and it's pretty cool.

It's had one repaint, spent a bit of it's life in Indiana (though not too much, as we had the car up on a lift at the sellers house and it's pretty clean underneath) and has under 60,000 original miles. Gary found a receipt from a few years ago in Indiana for some work done at 40,000 miles.

It's got the white pearl interior...and is REALLY comfortable to drive and sit in. For a convertible, there aren't too many rattles or squeaks.

Look for the mileage to increase on the odometer soon!

BTW, Ken couldn't be the only one having fun in a convertible! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif
