Keep in mind when you take that car apart to change the color to blue you may find some demons and open a huge can of worms.
Also to have a pro shop take that apart and do a color change is not cheap and you’re already into it for $69k!
My biggest advice would be look it over with a fine tooth comb, drive it and if you’re still not sure pay an expert to evaluate it for you-you’ll be money ahead trust me.
Taking apart (even partially) a "restored" car or a "street" (unrestored) car are two different things. The former WILL require "kids gloves" when doing so (i/e added $$). Then the kids gloves again for reassembly.
Says restored in 2002: so may have been a nice original wrt (rust, repairs, etc). But ANY conv. encountered rust problems unique to them (trunk, well opening, etc.).
Color: Purple has always had a "following" in the mopar field, blue not so much. Regardless of vin, etc. It's a High-Impact color unlike green or blue. Best color wrt resale.
If the car "checks out" OK, leave it as is.
E-Body convertibles will always be in demand.
Always possible to convert even a 6-cyl HT in a Hemi R/T or Hemi-Cuda HT.
But try "making" a convertible from any HT.
