This car is fitted with a few aftermarket goodies.... Bilstein Shocks, Hi/Low Suspension Kit, Steel Braided brake lines, Beefy adjustable front toe arms, adjustable engine mounts and a genuine Mota-Lita Steering wheel.
Drivetrain / Powertrain:
The engine starts right up and runs very strong. Oil pressure sits @ 75 PSI during start up and 65 PSI once warm. The gearbox shifts smoothly into all gears, clutch does not slip, and CV axle boots are good. There is no oil leaks or issues with the drivetrain what so ever.
We have done the following work:~ Oil Change using AMSOil 20W50 Z-Rod~ Coolant, Brake Fluid & Clutch Fluid Changed~ Compression Test Complete (see pictures for confirmation)- Cylinder 1: 155PSI, Cylinder 2: 150PSI, Cylinder 3: 155PSI, Cylinder 4: 150PSI
~ New Plugs, Wires, Distributor Cap & Rotor~ Adjusted carburetor & replaced fuel filter~ Replaced gear selector seal
Mechanical:Brakes are in great condition with roughly 75% pad life remaining, Suspension is tight and has Hi/Low kit already installed. Steering was loose so we replaced the rack & pinion, tie rods and performed a 4 wheel alignment (also has rear toe/camber adjustment fitted)
Body:The body is in great condition overall. The car has been fully sprayed including inside and underneath, the respray was pretty well done but it is a few years old for sure and some blemishes are noticeable. There is 3 spots of small rust showing on the body by the front wings and bit behind the front bumper.
Underneath the body is overall good condition with no rust, dents or causes for concern.
Interior:The interior is near perfect with great seats, door panels, carpet and steering wheel.
The only blemish is a crack in the upper dash panel and some residue which is unable to come off the same panel. This is extremely common, alot of times people cover the dash over to hide this.
We have an extensive photo collection of this car for potential buyers and can answer any questions you might have!
