The Street KA was the soft top and the Sport KA was the hard top version. The rot issue is their biggest failure especially around the filler cap and rear bumper. The little pushrod lump engine is a wonderful unit if not a little rattle box at times. If you can find a well kept, clean example then I agree it’s a future classic.
