A beautiful, exotic, unbelievably fun car to drive. All maintenance has been done professionally, however one engine cam has failed and needs repair. I have not disassembled the engine and have decided to possibly sell the car as is. The car is otherwise in perfect shape, cosmetically and mechanically with great detail paid to maintenance. Tires, brakes, etc are all in very good condition with many miles remaining before any additional investment will be required. You will need to remove engine to properly investigate and repair cam, but I'm confident that once this is completed no other repairs will be necessary. The engine has always performed very strongly. Oil pressure and engine temperature were never a problem. The failed cam is the one that sends the signal to the ECU so no spark is being sent. The ECU and all related spark components have been replaced (coils, wires, sending units, etc) Please feel free to call me to discuss - 312-402-1166. This car has no damage history (no accidents) or body repairs and the low mileage is original (<30K). The transmission shifts perfectly and all syncro's and clutch are also fine. Again, call for more honest details about this car. Yes, if I don't sell it this week I will have the professionals repair the engine and then sell the car after that is accomplished. I need to retire and that means letting some of my toys go..... so call 312 402 1166. Personally I would rather buy a car like this where I'm in control of the repair rather than someone else. Your choice.
