I engine runs well, is clean, and does not drip engine oil. I also have complete engine (partially disassembled) that appears to be usable. It is a "JH" block that is the same as the one in the car. It goes with the car if the buyer wants it.
The car has an older paint job. It has some speckling on the hood. Paint is cracked behind the drivers side rear fender and a small dent in the right rear next to the hatch ( shown in photos). The vehicle appears to free of rust. I did not find any during replacement of the above parts.
