Ebay item 8/31/12
cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll
Current bid $2,550 reserve not met, 8 bids 9 days left in auction. 140k miles.

Sellers description:
This is a very happy, good running car. I have owned it for a while and use it as a driver. It is very presentable. She get comments every where she goes. It is mostly original. My goal during ownership was to keep it original as she left the factory. Still has positive earth electrical, original generator with working power steering pump attached.

Much of the suspention has been rebuilt including new KONI shocks. New clutch. Upper engine rebuild less then 3,000 miles ago. Newer Pirelli tires. Great oil pressure. After market electric fan added to the radiator. Thousands have been spent on the car in the last few years to keep it in excellent mechanical condition. The car runs as new!

My desire is that someone will buy her and bring her to a show car. She is a worthy canidate. To do so you will need to paint the car. From 15 feet away she looks good. Up close the paint has failed. It looks like tiny pin point dots in the paint. Not sure what happened but a friend of mine who is an expert in auto paint thinks the primer failed. If I kept her, paint is the next thing I would do. There is a smal dent in the passenger side front fender. A limb fell from a tree. Easy fix. A non issue if you paint the car. As usual with these cars there is a little rust in the rear wheel well. The picture shows the worst of it. Again, a non issue if you have the car painted. A very solid car with nice fitting doors and fenders.

Original tool kit and original A.M. radio. These two items alone are worth a lot!

The interior is good. Nice finish on the wood, great carpet and the seats are good and are the ultra rare Ambla. Please note that the rear seat bottom needs to have a seam re-stitched. All the Chrome is very good!

Mechanically she is wonderful! Recently replaced the front brake pads, rebuilt the steering, new shocks, upper engine rebuild. The speedomometer needs some attention. Maybe cleaning or a rebuild. 4 speed manual with working overdrive... Yes! Working overdrive.

Come look at her and if she does not meet or exceed your expectations you will not be obligated to buy. Not to worry though. To see her is to love her!

I drove her. Still do.
