Sorry for the late, delayed response. My two cents:

Not sure on factory procedure, but if orig. paint, why is body paint on trunk/rubber seal? Was it installed after paint?
Where is lower back part of original top across lower back plastic window? Wasn't factory done that way? Not sure.
Trunk does have original splatter plaint, which is easiest to redo with can paint, but he left that original!
Shouldn't the trans. also have the vin no. on it???
I think it went low, if it is as original as he claims. But, that's why you don't sell on ebay. Its a very nice car.
I'm not knocking it, but just raising a few questions for restoration reasons. Merry Xmas all!
