[isdntekvideo] This car handles EXTREMELY well and can get up and go.
Has a solid under belly and doesn't have any of the Ohio rust as it has been stored indoors.
Has the 1.6 Renault 4 Cylinder engine with a rebuilt Weber carb and KN style filter. Has an electric fuel pump and was just tuned up with new plugs and wires. Has new exhaust. Has a new water pump. A new radiator and new later style cooling fan. AND the power windows work.
The lights, turn signals, wipers, and after market radio ALL WORK.
The car starts easily..shifts well and stops great...Howver...it is hard to get it into reverse. Has new carpet and extra ignition points in the glove box. Rebuilt brakes, including master cylinder, rear wheel cylinders, front brake pads and a new line to the master cylinder. A new clutch cable has been installed as well as a new pedal assembly. This car is VERY dependable. It always starts and can easily be your eye catching head turning daily driver.
52,633 ACTUAL miles. All lights and gauges working except the gas and speedometer gauge. This car has a new gas tank and sending unit as well. On top of this another tank that can be installed on the other side of the car will come with the car which will make it 20 gallons of fuel total when it is installed. These aluminum tanks are handmade and cost over 700 dollars.
The seats will need to be redone or replaced. The tracks in them are deteriorated and will not adjust.
The paint will need to be redone. It has cracks and while it looks good from a distance it needs painted to really pop.
The tires are NEW. The glass is perfect. However the rubber around it could use a replacing.
Bottom line. This car could easily be a daily driver with a little work or a show car with a little more work. The miles are actual and you will NEVER find another like it state side for this price.
