I got this car from my dad about 5 years ago; he was given it by my brother-in-law who is a pilot and used it for driving around Atlanta. It has run well all along, and is a lot of fun cruising around with the top down. It is a manual with overdrive and fairly zips. I'm selling it because I have nowhere to park it (or tinker with it) and it deserves a better home for someone with a bit of time to enjoy it. When my brother-in-law bought it the engine was just rebuilt (10 years back now), and the car repainted, and the soft top replaced. My dad did some brake work; I did some electrical work, and put on new tires, just replaced the brakelines and the fuel pump as well. (The brakes need to be pumped to engage properly; need to be bled again.) The sound from the radio isn't great. I took out the old and bought new speakers, but haven't installed them. There's some body damage, from minor bits of rust to a few paint bubbles (you can see in the photos), to a some body damage in the left wheel well. With a little bit of work, this car could be a real beauty. It leaks a touch of oil, as all these models do, and to no serious effect. I enjoy the car, but want to give it on to someone who will enjoy driving it. I've got no reserve on the bidding, so bid with confidence. You'll need to pick the car up. Good luck!On Dec-04-15 at 13:06:04 PST, seller added the following information: Added more photos. Note, there is not much rust. The discoloration under the hood is fiberglass sound insulation that is peeling (and has dropped some fibers onto engine if you see them in photos). In the trunk the carpet needs to be glued, but no rust there. Also added photos of tires (spare in trunk) plus good treads on rest as well. You can now see the tear in the softtop (though it doesn't really leak.) And you can see I've got some repair books, and will throw in a bag of other stuff I bought for the car (bought new speakers haven't installed, plus have some spare electrical fuses, bulbs, and so on that will be added to the car). I drove it this morning for about 10 miles. It drives very well. I think you could pick it up to drive home, but as I said the brakes have to be pumped once quickly before they engage properly--but then they engage fully, and strongly. Up to you. Write with any questions. Happy to answer.
