This is a fantastic little car it was sold new in the US and has lived in the California high desert. It has been a restoration project since 1984 and has literally had thousands spent on it. For sale now due to a bereavment this car is a just a smidgen away from being finished. The engine is brand new{with documentation} it has been tuned with a cam and a twin choke Weber upgrade we started the engine and broke the cam in properly. Our compression test shows 185 psi in all four cylinders it sounds fantastic, will need to be dialed in and the oil changed {Valvoline 30 weight racing oil recomended }. Transaxle looks new and all suspension and brakes appear new, the brake hubs were wrapped in plastic, wheels have been refinished the tires have been off the car and stored inside and are unused. Dash and instruments are new or reconditioned wndshield and exhaust are new, this is a fantastic little car with receipts for $9-$10 k for parts and outsourced labor, add to that the thousands of hours lavished on this car and it would cost at least $25,000 to duplicate if the car was free. The car is being sold as an unfinished project it will be starting on the key and hopefully have brakes and clutch but due to a change of circumstances it will be sold as is.Paypal accepted for deposit only balance due in 5 days by wire transfer or cashiers check or cash.All internet sales as is where isInspection welcome and encouragedWorldwide shipping arranged at competetive ratesOn Aug-22-10 at 16:21:06 PDT, seller added the following information: SquareTrade © AP6.0
