Gasoline

Looks to be rust free, decent paint with a few chips, decent chrome, decent interior. Previous owner installed headers, performance cam, performance exhaust, it feels like it has a LOT more power than stock, it is very fast. We bought this about three years ago, and put in $6000, new suspension, brakes, tons of electrical work, weber carb, all sorts of things. Tires are good, two are new, one has a slow leak that will need to be fixed. Car starts right up and runs well.The bad...the gearbox is noisy and on the way out. You can drive it, but I would not go across the country with it. First gear is very noisy, the others are not great, you need to keep your hand on the stick to keep it from popping out of first under acceleration. It's not a big or expensive job to change the gearbox, but we aren't doing it, nobody is intersted in my family with playing with this one, is has gotten under 500 miles of use in three years, and it MUST go to make room for a different car we just got.There is also a roll bar for the car .Had bare metal respray in Porsche Red and have restoration photos. But hood needs respray. Has Tonneu cover. I put on headers and Exhaust. Over 7K in work. Car is about another 1k away in parts from being a 10k car. Just needs someone willing to do some labor. New Steering Rack, Poly bushings, Brakes, and Shocks. Leaks a bit of oil.
