I've owned this car for the last 2+ years, and in that time have focused on getting the car in tip top mechanical shape. To that end, I have rebuilt or replaced: New (rebuilt) alternator and belt New (rebuilt) starter New distributor cap, rotor, wires and plugs Air flow sensor opened, cleaned, reset and resealed Throttle linkage from pedal to butterfly flap cleaned and oiled New accelerator pedal ALL fluids changed Air/oil separator cleaned inside and out and painted Fresh air intake/windshield wiper plenum completely redone including intake vent, new windshield washer hoses and regreasing of wiper motor and mechanism New fuel filters - in-tank and exposed canister All new fuses New fuel injection relay New MAP sensor New center driveshaft bearing and support New battery New speed bleeders New head gasket within the last 2,000 milesNewer tires with +80% of tread left The car runs as close to 'as new' as imagninable for its age; starts immediately and runs like a fine Italian watch. Cosmetically, the car needs attention; there are some minor rust spots at the rear of the wheel wells, a small amount along the upper lip of the trunk, and in the front passenger jacking point. The paint is OK but will probably need a respray. The interior has been changed from blue to black. However, the dash was not painted well and will need to be stripped back down to the blue vinyl and repainted with the correct paint. Canvas top is in great shape, but I have to admit, I never have the top up!Car will come with wrenches (allen and socket) for changing fluids and a shop manual from International Auto Parts. Overall, this car is in great shape; it is NOT a show car/garage queen, but it IS a great little roadster ready for some beautiful top-down fall driving. I'm asking for $5000 or best reasonable offer (lowered reserve).
