IN A NUTSHELL I'VE THROWN IN THE TOWEL ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE OVER $30,000 IN RECEIPTS. AS THE SECOND OWNER I'VE HAD IT SINCE 1995. THIS CAR IS EXCEPTIONAL INSIDE AND OUT WITH NO HINT OF RUST AND A NEAR FLAWLESS PAINT JOB. IT HAS EXTENSIVE/COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION AND HAS BEEN TOTALLY RE-DONE INSIDE AND OUT TO INCLUDE; MODIFIED SUSPENSION WITH REAR DISC BRAKES, REAR-END, MOTOR AND INTERIOR, NEW TIRES AND WHEELS, STEREO, ETC. I RAN IT SOME MONTHS BACK ON EBAY AND "ONE OF THOSE" PURCHASED IT BUT HIS DREAMS WERE BIGGER THAN HIS WALLET... VERY FRUSTATING. NOW THE PROBLEM. IT WAS RUNNING HOT DURING THE SUMMER AND I FINALLY DETERMINED IT PROBABLY HAD A FAULTY HEAD GASKET WHICH I SWITCHED-OUT TO A HIGH-PO FELPRO GASKET. HOWEVER, AFTER I STARTED IT BACK-UP IT BROKE (2) VALVE LIFTERS AND THE GUIDE PLATES - WHY I DON'T KNOW... THE MOTOR IS NEW AND WAS DONE RIGHT. AGAIN, I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS. I WILL PART-OUT OR SELL "AS IS" BUT IT MUST BE TRAILERED. BUT (PLEASE) DO NOT GET THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION I WILL OR AM GIVING THIS ELKY AWAY - I'M NOT. HOWEVER, THIS WILL MAKE SOMEONE A GREAT SHORT-TERM PROJECT BUT I'M DONE AND I'M REASONABLE - TO MANY PROJECTS AND COMMITMENTS & NOT ENOUGH TIME OR INCLINATION. PLEASE E-MAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS BUT ONLY IF YOU ARE SERIOUS; BECAUSE I AM AND TO SAY THIS CAN/IS A POTENTIALLY GREAT SHOW CAR OR DRIVER IS AN UNDER STATEMENT.
