Looks awesome to me. Nice milage too. How does it run? Overall, if you got it for a decent price, I think you got a great car. There's one that looks identical to yours locally around here that I've been checking out. Good luck to you!

Nice car. Is it a real WS6? If so I'd say its pretty rare. A T/A without T-tops or steering wheel controls but leather must be a pretty rare beast.
I think you'll easily get another 200K miles out of it. I've driven local (former) State Police cars with the LT1 with over 250K miles on the original engine and they still went like stink and ran butter smooth.

Hardtops are cool. Lighter weight and you won't have to worry about your **** leaking when it wears out.

I never cared much for that front end, too pointy. But it's not my car. Otherwise looks good

Never was a real big fan of the arrowhead lookin' front end but whatever. Its your ride so as long as you like it, kudos to you man. Its a rare bird thats for sure, I don't think i've ever seen a 93-97 hardtop WS6 before. Nice color too. hehehehe

I had a friend that had the exact same car (except his interior was Camel).

I always liked that car

thats a nice car, it doesnt matter that it doesnt have t-tops, like previously mentioned the metal is lighter than the glass.

Just to point out, the only metal in the 93+ F-bodies are the rear quarter panels and the hood if it has a regular hood. The WS6 hood, nose, front fenders, door skins, roof, and rear bumper are all made out of plastic.

All 4th gen cars start their life as T-top cars from the factory, then once the decision of if the car will have T-tops the factory either bonds the plastic roof panel into place or puts in the T-top system.
