Details:

-This is a 2.3 n/a 4cyl with a 4sp auto.
-Car is from Florida so it is rust free and amazingly clean.
-I put $1800 (includes receipts) in parts into it in the last 2 months (all new front suspension bushings, ball joints, H&R shocks, H&R sport springs, all new steering components, etc.) Aligned by Jeff the Alignment guy. Also replaced a bunch of other misc parts.
-BBS RS 3 piece wheels with locks and wrench and newer tires (80%+ tread left). These are the correct 5x112 bolt pattern and offset for this car. (ie not redrilled)
-The paint is EXTREMELY sun faded. It is NOT GLOSSY! 8) I think it is some of the coolest natual patina ever and the reason I put so much money into the car in the first place but opinions will vary on this.
-it's only issue is a vacuum leak inside the dash that affects the idle and the smoothness of shifting. I'm not sure I will have the time to chase it down but I will try. I drove the car 2 weekends ago 6 hours round trip with no hickups. I have also been daily driving it.
-165k miles, no leaks at all.

Asking $2900 with the BBS wheels and stock wheels. $1900 with just the stock wheels.

seen it in person and can vouch BEAUTIFUL! Car looks killer and is really clean (besides the rad patina) Plus the dude's an engineer and has labored over this thing!

Classic!

Too bad something like this won't be around when I have a few grand put together to get me another. GLWS. I love the color.

I'd like to add that I have a rare complete 5sp manual transmission swap I would include for an additional $600. Everthing literally bolts in.

Man oh man. My wife gave me the ok to get this but we have to wait for one of her commissions to go through first. If this is here in a month or so then it will definitely be mine.
