again...a lot more stuff I'm not thinking of yet
Basically, the car is in tip-top running condition, drives super-tight, peppy, starts every time, tight gearbox, nice firm clutch, brakes, steering, etc. All accessories work, top is near-perfect, plastic window nice and clear, and is simply a joy to drive. Autocrossed about 6 times, and really held its own, considering I'm a pretty novice driver. Finished 2nd/3rd in most events in my Novice class, even in 25+ car fields.
Very strong motor, body is straight with NO rust, only minor dings/dents, and mild hail marks that could easily be PDR'd if you felt the need. Paint is surprisingly glossy and original (I think the white stripes really make it "pop").
This car was made as mechanically perfect as possible to be a strong/reliable autocross car that could still be driven anywhere in Texas on a nice weekend. I've spared no reasonable expense in buying quality parts/fluids and doing things "right."
CAR HAS BEEN SOLD. :burnrubr:
