which just happend to be the largest number of bays built in any production year. BUT and there is always a but they are reported to have been built using poor quality steel from russia which is why they havent lasted as well as earlier and later models .it is almost impossible to find a rust free 72 cross over bay .

You might tell him it's not a factory cabrio because he still has that in the ad!!!! Maybe he genuinely thinks it's a factory built cabrio????

I told him that someone just cut the roof off a hardtop and as a result, it's worth less than a hard top model. Price hasn't changed either.
Just to be pedantic, I also informed him about his spelling....
