No reserve. Daily driver. not a show car. It is noisy. with a stiff suspension. requires ongoing maintenance. leaks oil and is not a Miata. so plan accordingly. Car is available for inspection and test drive. Bought the car locally in 2008. Was told it came from Texas. Body is rust-free except minor rust blister repair below rear taillights. lower A-pillar. lower front rocker(bubbling again). and battery shelf has been repaired. There is Bondo in front valance and next to left headlight. likely a minor accident. Car has older restoration and paint. Paint is good but has water spots. chips. scratches etc. Car came with: engine rebuilt 20+ with street cam; rear sway bar; tube shocks f/r; 45D distributor. no vacuum.
