parkertom Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) I contacted the seller. He is very accommodating and we talked about the car via phone and he sent me videos and photos. It appears to be a very solid car. Some changes made to it over time and a few minor issues that someone could resolve if they wanted to. He’s owned it for less than a year. The radiator has been replaced with an aftermarket unit, generator changed over to alternator, electric fuel pump added, peddle start disabled and now starts by switch under the dash. A head unit has been added in console unit sitting on transmission hump and exterior speakers placed on the rear package tray. According to seller, drivers side exhaust manifold has a crack, rear driver’s side window regulator is sticking, and power seats aren’t working. Based on what I could see from videos, it starts right up, sounds good and looks good. Just not the right car for me.

lancemb Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I remember this car for sale a few years ago for about half this money. Someone, probably whomever he got it from, made a quick profit. However, it will be a tough sell even being a decent car. Super 4 doors just don't hold the value. If I remember correctly the car has incorrect upholstery as well, but didn't look out of place. I think the paint color (at least on lower) may have been changed too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Honestly for what I paid for my special, I'd buy this at the 20k mark. But I cannot buy more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancemb Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Looks like a very nice car, but it's not "original interior". It looks tasteful, but both the vinyl and cloth are not as factory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkertom Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 It’s interesting they relisted higher. Was getting to the point that I was considering giving him a call back about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
