My comments:
Exterior
That Maaco respray is just offensive. No shine. The seller explained that the car had "Beautiful black paint" but he felt it was dirty all the time, so he had it painted some Suzuki blue. It's probably the worst thing about the car. Doubly offensive when you realize it would have looked great in black if he just left it alone.
Interior
I was surprised at the overall quality of the interior. Things seemed screwed together well and there were no squeaks. The door panels don't squeak or creak when you push on them. It was super solid and quiet in fact. The ride was extremely smooth even with the failing Michelins. I was marveling at the heated rear seats and rear climate control as Adam mentioned. Power head rests. My STS does not have that. It also has power lock switches in the back that don't unlock. The 90s Fleetwood had that. Not sure why they did that but interesting that they carried it forward to the end of the G-body cars. Overall it's hard to believe the Riviera and Seville are on the same platform. You can tell by the solidity of the platform itself but I'm referring more to the interior.
Drive
I did not drive. I was a passenger and poking at my Tech 2 the whole time. Engine seemed smooth (makes me want to do engine mounts in mine...kind of). I was right on with the tall gearing and kind of lame drivability. It doesn't really pull that hard until halfway through first. And really, it is not all that fast. But as a comfortable FE1 car, that is fine. Would have preferred the STS for sure though.

It needs special tools for installing one of the seals. Fortunately, eBay has that.

Wow.
90 Mazda RX7 Vert with a Chevy 350 engine swap:
Holley 4-barrel carb
MSD ignition
Holley intake
Aluminum core radiator
Cone filter
Flowmaster full dual exhausts
Original fog light kit option
Original BBS mesh wheels with centercaps
JDM taillight conversion
FC wing
Headlights flip up like they should and all lights, blinkers, windows work. Interior needs a little TLC, but not a big deal. Roof skin has some duct tape on it - can be replaced. Car has plenty of balls and is very fun and reliable, no leaks or issues.

Asking $2800 cash OBO preferred.
Re: Cars that should be bought
It'd be better if it wasn't a convertible.
Re: Cars that should be bought
An FC convertible is a good way to afford an RX-7. So there's that. But then you'll have an FC convertible...
