Nice looking car, with a few issues. Upholstery appears to be original, but front seat is split, needs replacing. I agree that the car would look better if the top were black, matching the interior. It likely left the factory with a black top - trim tag would tell. Rally II wheels are incorrect, but I like the look. Tailpipes are incorrect, at very least need to be shorter. Somebody please replace those Pep Boys spark plug wires - yikes!
This is a base model car, but if the car is rust-free and mechanically sound, I think the drop top makes your estimate low.
