Car is fast. has won numerous Autocross first place finishes and first place season finishes.

I have completed the work during my nearly 10 years of ownership.

It has been my passion and hobby restoring this vehicle.

Engine and drive-line is a 10 out of 10. paint is good except Rear fenwr has started bubbling from 10 year old paint job.

Paint still shows well.

Interior is very nice for a car of its type. no radio. no AC. no heat.

Car has way more than I am listing as I have forgotten much of what I have done over time.

If you have questions let me know.

I am selling as I have new hobbies and am ready to move on.

Car is sold as is with no warranties of any kind.

Many spares included
