History
Bought running with approximately 205,000 miles for $2000 with a straight body. One of the previous owners had it badly resprayed a nice metallic white, but it's now flaking off everywhere. Original leather interior was in so-so condition. Engine spun a rod bearing after a few months and it went up on jackstands for rebuilding. It's been a long-term project of mine to build it into a track car, since this one needs some love after what has been done to it in the past.
