A very long story made short, I purchased the car 20 years ago missing everything from the firewall forward. It was to become my dedicated track car and a weekend cruiser. In these 20 years I've put 68 miles on the car. The last time I drove the car was Aug 2014. Today I have a 3 year old with another child on the way, and I'm having to admit the car will never see the driving it needs. Simply from sitting the front left brake caliper is dragging and the engine is not firing on all cylinders as the fuel injectors need to be cleaned yet again from sitting too long. I have a video from the last car show I drove it to in 2014 and in the four years since it has not left my garage.

Question : Can I drive the car? Answer: No, as stated above, the car does not start. I’ll emphasize that I am making an assumption to this being fuel injector related. The not wanting to go through this again was the final prompting to list the car on e-bay. I more correctly should have said: I drove the car into the garage 4 years ago and today it does not start. It could be related to items other than fuel. You will need to bring a trailer and winch/come-along. The video’s are to illustrate my belief you can bring this car back to running condition without too much work. Question: Does the hood shut? Answer: Yes, the hood does shut but with some difficulty. I would never close the hood other than driving down the road, that way it was easy to check oil, coolant, etc…On Jan-31-18 at 17:55:21 PST, seller added the following information: THE CAR NOW RUNS! No you still can not drive the car down the road, but it is good enough to drive onto a trailer. I've had so many people say they would feel better about the car if it were running, which I can understand, so I pulled the fuel injectors and cleaned the nozzles this evening. Then I recorded video this 1-31-18. I hope the video's help those who are interested but can not make the trip to see the car before the auction ends. At first the car had a miss, but it was only a few minutes before all injectors came on line. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1b5hxpcC3Cgd5z7tdgwLnNZ0RD_pjXGj6
