Very good condition, averages 49.6 mpg highway. Engine and transmission have less than 4,000 miles on rebuild, and within the past 2 years the following have been replaced: Axle assemblies, brakes including rotors and hubs, all wheel and axle bearings, all hoses and belts, water pump, vacuum pump, injectors, radiator, AC condenser and dryer, battery, starter, alternator. This car had been my daily commuter vehicle on a 120 mile round trip 5 days a week and I now work closer to home. Very reliable and economical. No rust in engine bay or strut towers. This is the 1.6 liter naturally aspirated engine with the 5 speed manual transmission. Transmission was built for freeway cruising with a gear set from the ACH code transmission. (.75 ratio fifth gear with the 3:67 ratio ring gear.) Runs at 70 mph at approximately 2850 rpm. Wheels/tires in photo's included, as well as a set of the factory wheels and tires with stainless steel hubcaps. Speedo cluster has tach. Excellent oil pressure: At hot idle it holds 25-28 psi, at 2000 rpm and hot it is 52 psi. This engine has the hydraulic cylinder head so no valve adjustments necessary. New clutch installed when engine and transmission rebuilt. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. (It has made several trips to Las Vegas and San Diego from Salem, Oregon.) Note the car now has the quad grill installed with angel eye headlights. (As seen in two of the photo's.) Huge improvement in lighting. These are getting rare in this condition....I hate to let it go but I need the garage space!
