Description

(THE WHITE AREA ON THE TOP OF THE LEFT FRONT FENDER IS SNOW NOT MISSING PAINT). Same owner for the last 27 years. I sold this car 27 years ago to a friend and am now reselling it for them. This car would make a great project for the right person. It needs some refurbishing. I will list the pluses and minuses. It is completely original as it was owned by a professional who used it for daily transportation. The engine was redone about 70K miles ago and runs strong. The turbo works great as does the clutch and transmission. Has original removable roof panels.The body is very straight except two areas (see photos) but the clear coat is peeling in several places. The seats have no rips and the upholstery is in good condition. The heat and sun have damaged the dash, it will need to be replaced or recovered. Also damaged is the covering on the center console lid, e-brake boot, shift boot (I have ordered the parts to replace the e-brake boot, shift boot and recover the console lid), steering wheel cover and the outside markings of many of the buttons in the dash (climate control etc). The sun has also damaged the black coating on the stainless moldings around the doors and windows. They would need to be removed and either coated or polished. I have not tested all of the buttons in the climate control, suspension setting etc for function. The headlights open and close as they should and the cruise control works as do the p. windows. The rear end is very noisy. I have found locking differentials with 40k-60K miles on them for $399 plus shipping. A non turbo rear end will swap and there are quite a few used ones around as low as $250 but they do not have limited slip. The car is able to be driven while it is fixed up. Would make a great car to gut the interior and put a roll cage in, upgrade the turbo and injectors and make a wild street or race machine.
