Description

This is a wonderful car that is a real joy to drive. It is in excellent conditions, t is mechanically very sound and it feels very solid, here are no known problems with this machine and I have never hesitated to fix anything that was not working perfectly. It starts without hesitation, uns very smoothly (like new, would say), he transmission shifts tightly, he turbo makes the most wonderful sound… I could go on for pages.

It does have minor dings and defects as would be expected with a car of this age, have outlined them below. I have owned this vehicle since 2011 when it had 65,400 miles (I believe I am the second owner) it has been a second vehicle for me and I have kept it garaged and babied ever since. The following is a partial list of what I have done to it since I acquired it:

- CONVERTED A/C BACK TO IT’S ORIGINAL R-12 SYSTEM AND REPLACED COMPRESSOR

- REPLACED SHIFTER LINKAGE BUSHINGS

- CHANGED COOLANT

- TRANSMISSION SERVICE

- ADJUSTED INJECTOR PUMP

- REPLACED BELTS

- REPLACED BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED ABS SENSOR

- SERVICED REAL DIFFERENTIAL

- REPLACED ANTENNA MAST

- REPLACED CABIN HEATER MOTOR

- The wood paneling has some fine cracks (as can be seen in the pictures)

- The wood paneling right of the glove compartment has been broken and is coming unglued (picture available)

- The netting behind the seats is sagging and has to be replaced, s does one of the “frames” (picture available)

- The front towing eye flap cover is missing

- The lining of the hat shelf at the rear is sun faded

- There is a faded spot in the driver’s seat (picture available)

- All electric seat functions work well, xcept that to raise the driver’s seat back, ome manual assistance is required.

I am not aware of any other problems or defect with the vehicle and I’m willing to fix anything major that might be found wrong with it that I’ve not listed above. I’m happy to provide more pictures upon request.
