The guy has owned the car for 4+ decades and never dropped the top? That is unusual. He must be a character.

New owner should check the rams for surface rust before trying to lower the top. When these are exposed they can get some rust and pitting on them, and then when the rams are drawn into the cylinders the o-rings can get torn up from the rough surface. This is often what causes them to leak. You can replace the o-rings, BTW. I did this on mine, took care of the leak, without shelling out the cash for aftermarket ones.
