We thought we would keep "The Yellow Wasp" forever ( so have cared for it appropriately) but will sell at the right price. I have done my best to offer complete descriptions, contact me with any questions.On Oct-01-11 at 06:09:18 PDT, seller added the following information: A few requested updates: Yes, car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early; but at this point I am not listing a buy it now price. You may contact me if you wish. Car has been mostly garage kept since we have owned it (approx 2003). Was my sons college car (who lived within walking distance to campus, so very few miles since overhaul). Rides/steers/shifts/drives nicely. Proper break-in procedure was followed for the overhaul and it has received regular oil changes. Brake job included NEW Rotors and NEW calipers ($1600 spent on front-end/brake components 7/2010). Parts on this car have been mostly obtained from Opel GT Source--as available. Weber Carburetor is not a true side-draft, is fully functional. Electric fuel pump is not original. It was added to provide a more consistent and reliable fuel supply.On Oct-01-11 at 06:37:47 PDT, seller added the following information: Title is free of liens and clean. NOT a salvage title. Title is a "Classic Title" and therefor mileage is marked as "Exempt". To the best of my knowledge, the Odometer reading is correct--this car has averaged less than 3000 miles/year in its 39 years; and since the overhaul (4/2007) . Yes, this car does feature a Crane Fireball ignition system (HR 700) for a hotter spark/ liitle extra boost --Nice pickup by the way !!! Oil pressure is excellent--maintains around 45-60 at cruising speed !
