Thanks. I appreciate all the responses. I, too, noticed the hood gap. I did not notice the dash. Is the blue horn button cover correct?
While the seller was unresponsive to emails, he answered his phone and was responsive to my questions. He says he picked up the car at an estate auction and that it's a local car, maintained at an OKC shop for years. Said the previous owner had been in ill health and not driven the car for several years. He assures me the front fenders are original, but could not find a number on the hood.
He also says there is no evidence of rust.
Re the recommendation on the California SL - it doesn't have A/C, an absolute requirement in Oklahoma. Anyone have any idea what it would cost to add air?
And thanks Rodd, I subscribed to the SL Market letter this morning.
If I get the opportunity to look at the car this weekend, I'll post what I see.
