The front seat has a tear and door panels are not great, but the rest of the interior
(including the cargo bay) are very good. The wood decals are excellent but surrounding
painted faux wood could use some redoing. There's a small chip in the front windshield
but the rest of the glass is good. Headliner is good. All guages work including
Town and Country radio. Under the hood is very clean with some detailing.

Notes:
The Teletouch transmission works flawlessly. The paint has some cracking and
there is a small amount of rust in the rear parts of the rocker panels. Other
than that, the car is rust free including the frame. This is an excellent candidate
to made made into a concours condition car.

The car runs great and gets a ton of looks wherever it goes. It has a rare
single-tone Spring Green color scheme. The Atlanta collector was considering putting
on an aftermarket AC unit, and added the rare AC cowl at the base of the interior of the
windshield. The car has basically no rust to speak of – very clean. There are
two small chips in the windshield, and it would look better replaced. There’s a tear
in the front seat at a seam – which can be repaired. There are a couple small tears
in the headliner. The radio and heater work fine. There is a temp gauge to the
left of the gas gauge.
This car was photographed for inclusion in Quentin Willson's book, "Classic American
Cars", and was also featured in a mass-market 2005 calendar.

Notes:
This is one of the most photographed and well-traveled Bermudas in existence. It
was restored by a legendary surfing champion in Hawaii named Randy Rarick. The
car was shipped to Los Angeles to be sold. It was driven to a Las Vegas Edsel
event where it was purchased by a pair of British collectors (two brothers) who shipped
the car to England. It shows up in U.K. magazines from time to time.
The brothers sold the car (maybe 8 years ago) to a collector in Atlanta who brought it
back from overseas. I bought the Bermuda from the Atlanta collector around 2002.
