Lots of missing parts. Paint is really bad. I cannot tell what is going on with the hardtop. There is no porthole. I am surprised at how good the seat looks. Bumpers are a disaster.

I also assume it is a non-running, non-drivable car. Definitely a “project”. My assessment is that it probably needs a bit more than TLC. And maybe $30k-$40k of “attention”.

The one thing it has going for it is being a California car it probably does not have the rust that your typical east coast car does. The top is not a problem since some of the 57’s came with the non porthole hardtop. I agree that this car is a $30K to $40K proposition. Also would be nice if there were some better pictures and a better description.
