We poured our heart and soul into this little beast I replaced tons of parts to make it super reliable I have put a lot of money into this car and i'm just trying to recover some of my costs, I'm guessing I've put about 4,000 into it. I'm the second owner, first owner was a good friend. Located in the Bay Area.
I was building this up to rally race with so I removed the smog gear, smog parts are included with the car, if you plan on driving it on the street in areas that require it, you should reinstall them. Its regestered non op right now. I'm selling this as a race/off highway car as I don't know what the smog laws are where you live.

new photos added of the car in its dusty unwashed/waxed condition, of the hood scoop more complete, and more of the interior.a couple people have asked about buying it outside of this auction, i'd prefer to let the bidding continue, but thanks.if you would like to see the car in person and your in the bay area please send me a message and we can find a time.yes it starts up and drives just fine, yes headlights, tail lights, brake lights and turn indicators all seem to function fine, i just started, drove and checked the lights last weekend, yes i believe its road worthy to drive several hundred miles home in my opinion, but I'm used to driving classic cars.no the thrush glass packs are not very loud in my opinion, i have 2.5" magna flows on my truck and this car is 1/2 the volume, but still deep and present.feel free to ask any questions or for more detailed photos.in the interior photo the climate control unit is not tucked up in its normal spot, yes heater/windshield defroster works.thanks again for looking
