This car has Charisma and hails from Huntington Beach, California. I am the second owner of this beloved vehicle. It is original and in amazing shape right down to the Red vinyl seats and Red carpet. Weighing in at 2,668 pounds, it is just 17 more pounds than a tiny 2005 Ford Focus! We have spent over 11 months and $10K fixing it and I have receipts. Also comes with Original Owner’s Manual, Brochure and other original documents and nice little Auto Creeper. If you have any questions contact me BEFORE bidding. Please read listing carefully. Car sold as is, no returns, refunds or exchanges. My goal is to give as well as receive positive Feedback so serious Ebayers only please.

It is passable but does have imperfections here and there. For instance there is some paint missing from the sides of the hood, little lines, barely visible but in an effort to make this listing as accurate as possible I have added this information. Also there is one more imperfection near the hood on the right side. It is a small indentation in the metal and measures approx. 2" in length. It is not a major defect but I believe that it should be mentioned. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.On Jun-25-12 at 12:37:40 PDT, seller added the following information: AGAIN, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS VEHICLE IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE MICHIGAN STEEL.
