I hate to put my car up for sale, but I am going to be moving soon. I wont have room/time to work on cars much.
I bought this car about 2 years ago off craigslist. The guy was about to scrap the car, so i bought it. The last two years I have done a ton of work on it. I got a newer engine and 5 speed off a donor car and proceeded to replace EVERY single seal, gasket, fluids, and Orings. I also spent way too many hours cleaning every surface of the motor, trans, and engine bay. The car runs great and doesnt leak a single drop anywhere. I have put about 1500 miles on it since completing the majority of the work, its runs great. The entire suspension has been rebuilt from top to bottom, replacing anything that could be worn. It feels like a brand new car.
It needs a few things to be considered complete, but the hard work is done. It would be a great driver on its own, or a good car for someone looking to modify slowly while having a nice car to drive. The body is all original, never wrecked (original vin stickers in place). The body has about 6 or so small hail dents and the clear coat peeled a little bit on the trunk and hood. It had a maaco type paint job put on it 4-5 years ago so it looks pretty good from 10 feet. The car had just a little bit of rust in the trunk which I treated and fixed the trunk leak.
