California car since new , third owner 90,000 original miles original blue license plates AC charged with R-12 Freon for 65* F interior in 125* Death Valley , Las Vegas , Mojave Desert heat Recently repainted original Oriental Red , never wrecked , no rust ever Strong running 3 liter naturally aspirated 5 cylinder OM617 OHC engine with New Monark Fuel Injectors can be driven all day long @ 85 MPH New German (Monark brand) Glow Plugs I bought this car from the second owner to use as my travel car with my Spouse who retired , now she says we must have a Station Wagon to haul the Foster kids in so this beautiful Classic Sports Coupe is up for sale . It is a 30 year old car that was never garaged so the L.A. sun and smog took it's toll on the paint and various rubber parts, this is why I did the following repairs many parts (ball joints , drive axles, transmission etc.) simply had bad rubber or leaky seals so I had them rebuilt as we like to travel far and wide , this car has been to Death Valley and other far flung places as it's a comfortable , reliable touring car . The fuel economy is between 25 ~ 30 MPG's , if you go over 60 MPH it drops to 25. some folks claim wild 50 MPG fuel mileage, it isn't true .
