This car has had a full restoration, it runs great, has a straight body, no rust Arizona car, new interior, clean title. 1500cc engine, the largest and most modern engine for this model. This is a great reliable road-trip and commuter car, I recently took the car on a tour of the Sierra Nevadas in California, lots of twisty mountain roads, and through long Mojave desert back roads, no worries. Lots of fun to drive! I am selling the car because I am moving overseas in a few months, I will miss it terribly, but need the money for an apartment and plane ticket. Engine runs great, idles perfectly, starts in the cold with the choke, runs like butter through all rpm's, the electrical system works great, holds a charge indefinitely. The engine has no major oil leaks, does not burn ANY oil or water, no smoke at or at any point. The car will come with the original front bumper, a haynes repair manual, and a box of spare parts. The front bumper will bolt right on with no modifications, I took it off for aesthetic reasons. The car still needs new shocks, wiper blades, a radio, a strip of chrome, a speedometer cable, and a horn. Defects include a small 2" crack in the paint on the hood, 3" crack in the corner of the windshield, 3 small holes in the top but it still looks and works well, tires, and some holes in the carpet.There is a minor flaw with one of the synchros when cold, otherwise the transmission works great, strong clutch, and all 5 gears work fine.

This car is sold as-is there are no warranties, as with any car that is 35 years old. The car has had a good history with me, and I predict it will continue being a good car as long as it is maintained properly, but again, no guarantees or warranties. The winning bidder is responsible for providing a non-refundable deposit of $200 withing 48 hours from the end of the bid.The buyer is also responsible for arranging all the shipping, and covering shipping expenses.
