Seats and trunk liner appears to be the originals. It does feature an updated sound system with a Pioneer Super Tuner head unit placed in the glove box. Underside of the vehicle is unrestored and appears to be all original. Top has always performed flawlessly until we went to photo the car,,it would not go but about halfway down,,,,came right back up but wouldn't go all the way down. I'm going to do some research, betting it is low on fluid. The car is located in Illinois and is stored in a climate controlled building.
