Howards' Widow has decided that it is time to sell Suzi. As far as I can remember, it was set up as an autocross car when he bought it (can't find the thread on Pelican). Asking price is $12K. Howard took really special care of this car. If you have an offer to make, contact Toast and she will give you a phone number to call.

The good:

1.) Really good paint job .. less than 2 years old
2.) Strong 2.0L motor with stock D-Jet Injection
3.) No rust anywhere
4.) Car can be driven ANYWHERE ... yea, coast to coast (and back) if necessary
5.) 4 Fuchs with Toyo tires (sticks like glue)
7.) Fiberglass bumpers and covers front and rear
8.) I haven't looked at the shock /swaybar assemblies to tell you what kind they are.
9.) 4 point camlock seatbelts / shoulder harness (no submarine belt)

The bad (maybe):

1.) All fresh air and heater components have been removed and blocked off.
2.) The starter has a glitch periodically ... I can include a Ford solenoid to solve this problem quickly.
3.) Needs the catch on the rear trunk replaced or fixed ... won't lock down

Now the pictures:

Like all fiberglass, it cracks. It can be repaired with a glass kit, but the best solution is not to "bump" anything.

This Sucks, wanted this car, no green backs.
As others have said you will not be disappointed. I hope someone here takes it, she should go to a god home.
