Description:

I have up for sale my baby. I love this car. It has a new cabrio canvas roof on it which has always been covered. I also have a custom cabrio cover heavy duty to fit over the roof to protect it and is always on when not in use. My intention originally was to restore and repaint the whole car, but eventually ran out of funds. I have driven this car for four years after extensive work done to it. Here are a few to list that have been done. All four new struts, new racing clutch, fuel pressure regulator, fuel strainer, timing belt, brakes front and rear, calipers, replaced transmission, had the head bored and head gasket replaced by a guy that said he knew what he was doing but had my car for four months before I got it back. Anyway, he put in a new fuel pump and water pump, rebuilt the engine, new motor mounts that never got put in because originally was told they needed to be done and apparently didn't but I have the parts anyway. A new thermostat, wiper blade, tires are a few years old but in great condition and are yokohamas low profile H rated. A new starter, new master cylinder, radiator cap, I also have a new ring set for the engine that I didn't need that will come with this. The ac worked when I bought the car, but for some reason, doesn't get cold anymore, I recharged it but still doesn't, it could be something very simple I do not know. The car starts but it doesn't leak but after I drive down the road, all the water or antifreeze is gone. Im assuming its the head gasket again. At first they thought a freeze plug, but there is nothing leaking. It will bog out at the lights or when stopped. Like I said I do not know what is wrong, it always ran great after I had all the work done to it, which seemed like it was always something but out of the blue it starting getting hot and doing the stalling thing and no fluid, but it will start. It as many other parts as well but I can't remember everything. The interior is perfect on the dash, not breaks and has a cover over that which was made for this car, it protects it a bit from the florida sun. Seats have no rips that I am aware of, rugs are fine. It has a kenwood radio/cd player with a usb port, cig lighter works fine. Dash locks, and so does the console. The console as seen in pics, has a crack. Roof goes up and down with no issues and it is manual roof. The car originally was silver, as I was stopped by the police to tell me my car was silver, and I said it looks yellow to me! lol anyway, someone painted it at one time with a lousy paint job. All the clear coat is coming off and really could use a fresh coat. All in all this car would be great or someone that wants to put a couple bucks into it an someone that may know what they are doing and can figure this out themselves. I love this car, it was my baby an always someone would stop an ask about it. It sharp with the yellow and black roof. If i was to keep it I would put a rotary engine in it myself, but thats me. The guy that worked on my car, actually two of them, were not great with paperwork, so lost half my receipts but you can see the parts that have been worked on and replaced. One strut on the right front has blown and it is a lifetime warranty that I bought at auto zone, just use my name when you return it and they will replace it. I just don't want to do anymore work to this car. Im done. Although I love her, she needs a new home and someone else to spoil her the way I tried to. The trunk may need a new gasket as it does leak, but I never got around to it and oh, the tail lights should be removed and resealed. Thats it I think in a nutshell. I give no warranty and it is sold as is. It is up to the buyer to get the car out of here whether it be towed by a company or however. I can be here and try and do what I can to make it go smooth but the buyer is to get the transportation for it themselves. This is a final sale and no returns or refunds. Must be paid before it is picked up. I think you will love this car, it is a great project car or for someone a few hundred bucks and she will be up and running again Im sure, well she runs but running right. Any questions feel free to ask. I will miss her. BONUS FULL TANK OF GAS! Also needs a good cleaning. It always had seat covers on it so they are dusty too. I was also told that there are speakers in the seat headrest but I never looked into it. I did replace the speakers on the doors and there is a spare speaker cover in the trunk and also a battery cover and case that it sits in in the trunk just never got installed. Good luck and I hope she finds a happy home.
