More about this car

I’m 18 years old and this is my first car so I’m very sad to sell her, but she is better fit for a weekend car then a daily. Please no lowballs as most of my money is in this car.

55 years old, so far from perfect, however the engine has been very reliable and so has the automatic transmission. Dual carb setup. Still working on it so price may go up over time.

11k miles on rebuilt engine and transmission

floor pans are solid

Interior and exterior needs work. runs and drives very nicely. I also have a carpet kit to come with it (shown in last photo)

in the last 4k miles:

new battery

new coil

new voltage regulator

new generator

new ignition switch

new blinker switch

blinkers work but are finnicky

speedometer cable broken

update: fixing battery issue

if listing is still up, it is still available!

Will trade for honda del sol, honda beat, miata, toyota mr2, maybe other vehicles similiar. shoot me an offer

Price is slightly negotiable… if you can get it fast
