i know its a ghia but its where my problem starts. I bought this car to save myself some gas. This car isn't very gas friendly. I later find out it has a porsche from the previous owner. 1.8 liter. While the car is very fun to drive i think i need to change the engines or fix it. my questions are:

1)i cant find this exhaust anywhere? in case i keep engine, i think i need a new exhaust? Where can i find it?

2)In case i am able to sell it, what can i expect for it? It pulls very strong and it has only a minor oil leak. It now has a carb (its how i got it)

I am getting about 20 mpg...its not enough for a broke student. Im sorry to bring my ghia into your forum, but i dont know where else to go
