many improvements made to car - extremely reliable and fun to drive.

purchase includes many spare parts including extra 1.7 long block engine and spare original tailshift transmission and engine mount bar, GT reinforcement kit included but not installed. new billet seat handles not installed yet.

Disclosure:
1) back portion of floor was repaired with sheet steel - basically a small section of the passenger area under the seat and a small area under the driver's seat. Yeah - I wish I had known at the time that half pans were available. Several other patches - 2"x18" strip in rear of trunk, hellhole repaired prior to me, couple of other small patches in floor

2) rear wheels / tires are too wide. 205's may fit better - they rub on the passenger inner "frame" when two people are in the car. The rear fenders are pulled slightly and lips are folded. tires rubbed on fender when first installed - created a bubble on the outside fender - hasn't gotten any worse in last 2.5 years.

3) paint is starting to bubble by driver's door handle cutout at front of rear fender.

4) I have a "new" front bumper - I'm working on getting it ready for paint and trying to locate a proper bump strip

5) A/C is almost complete - just need to have hoses made and installed. Compressor/evap/condensor are all installed.
