Anybody notice it has a '62 dash cluster?   The light/wiper switch 
pod is in the wrong place too... is this a genuine Spyder?  Need to 
check out that Fisher tag.   Radio bezel's wrong but that's 
meaningless, lots of them were wearing the wrong radio bezel after 
nearly 50 years and a half-dozen aftermarket radios later.  But the 
dash cluster swapped for a year-earlier version?   Why, when 
everything else seems pretty decent, with that claimed "2000" miles 
figure?  Top is sun-faded where it's been sitting in the sun with the 
top down.    2000+ miles likely means 102,000+.


All that being said, it seems in nice shape.   The paint seems well 
done and the glass and rubber is nice...  still, it remains a matter 
of what it's actually worth to the buyer.
