This car had been sitting outside not running when purchased. I intended to "restore" and use it as a daily driver. Good: The car has original round front headlight rally grill, original BBS wheels, interior seats are solid, no major rust or body damage. The car did not run when I bought it, I went through fuel and electrical system - the car now runs and I have been using it as a daily driver averaging 30 mpg. I have replaced all tires, new brakes (drums and rotors), new exhaust manifold, new wheel bearings and boots. The car did pass CA smog, however I removed the catalytic converter when I replaced the exhaust manifold. Not so Good: Clear coat is gone and will need re-paint. The front hood is "caved" as is common with these cars. The dash has cracks from the sun. Minor rust spot on front window frame and on roof where antenna attaches. Minor electrical issues remain - I worked most of the typical ones out - however reverse light switch was removed and the tachometer was soldered to another relay, which was causing additional problems, the tach wire was disconnected. Car does have other issues - shift linkage will need adjustment radio not installed. The car suffers from sitting in the sun for a number of years but still a solid driver. I had intended to hold the car and go through a full re-furbishing but I have no desire to continue. Buyer to pay shipping - PayPal preferred
