I've owned this for more than a year, but found something else to play with. Believed original paint--not perfect, but see photos. All original car is driven by me regularly. Short shift and aftermarket shifter. Everything works from the odometer to the antenna, to the self leveling suspension. Drive-shaft rebuilt. New tires on refinished wheels. Earlier owner customized the stereo to his liking with a McIntosh amp, sub-woofer and crossover system. I added the Pioneer Bluetooth with RDS, front USB and mp3 jack. I would say that this is the best car stereo set up I have ever had, and the mic and Bluetooth work well. Dash has some small cracks--not bad. Driver's seat has a tear. Dinan chip, but I do not know any details. This car drives like a car ought to, and you can feel the road. My mechanic went over the entire car; dash lights, engine and auxiliary items, headrest mechanisms, and fixed or lubed what didn't work. And he is a super capable local race engine builder and Bimmerphile. Never smoked in. Yes, I did leave the Carlisle sticker on, and I know that the distributor cap cover is incorrect. Late build date. All options including heated seats and rare factory mudflaps. This was my first time using photobucket, but more photos here: don't forget the prefix; ebay would not allow the link. ://s77.photobucket.com/user/Mitchell_Shapiro/library/ Inspections welcomed--this car will pass. Open to offers or partial trades, but please be realistic. This is a clean original car that is set up to drive or take to the next level.

I will try and upload more photos on photobucket later today for better close ups. On Sep-15-15 at 15:16:58 PDT, seller added the following information: It''s very sunny out today, so I took more photos and added them to photobucket. A couple of people asked about paperwork, the driver's seat and the dash, so, I took more of that. The rest was my effort to show off the paint; instead, lots of reflection, and some hidden cameos of myself! Oh well, paint is shiny! Many years of Arizona registration and insurance slips too. The Clifford alarm system was safely removed, and the Clarion radio--as well as the original--is long gone.
