If you're looking for a show car/garage queen, this is not that car. This car has many great upgrades, and with some additional attention and effort, it can be brought to mint condition. Paint and some minor body work are definitely needed, however engine pulls strong and car handles great.
I purchased this car in March 2006 from an owner in Florida with 33,918 miles on the clock. CARFAX says the mileage was 19K in 1992 and reports no indication of an odometer rollback. I understand if there's any skepticism about the vehicle mileage. I am skeptical myself. The engine is original, and since the rebuild, it runs strong. I have a detailed CARFAX vehicle history report and can make this available to any prospective buyer.
Edit: AutoCheck has some add'l mileage info.
I want to be fully transparent and ensure a positive transaction experience, and I hope this listing conveys that. Please see my seller feedback and feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for viewing.

This is a local sale, buyer pick up only. Cash or cashiers check only. If buyer is able, we can finalize payment at my bank. If you bank at Wells Fargo, I might consider an in-branch funds transfer. In some cases, a cashiers check might take one business day to clear. Title and keys will only be transferred when funds are clear and available in my bank account.
