Sold!

Overview:  A beautiful, well built car.  It is a raven interior silver exterior 5 speed 193K mile North Carolina car (no snow) and has no rust outside of surface rust on a few scratches.  It is in good operational order with many new hoses, the only departure from stock being a Gillis adjustable boost valve and a KN filter, both easily reversible.  The original parts will also go with the car. 
 
The good:  Runs very well and gets good mileage.  Very strong performer.  Car doesn't smoke.  Transmission shifts smoothly and synchros work well.  Has original snowflake wheels and good tires.  Dual exhaust is in good shape.  Has probably the rarest TC paint, titanium frost (code 3Z) as part of the Mach1 package and is very attractive with new black carpet and good raven interior. Only small amount of surface rust.  Has operational tripminder computer (provides instant and average mileage, fuel used, time, date, average speed).

The rest:  It has the typical cracked dash.  The A/C needs charging.  The cruise control doesn't work and the ABS light is on (brakes work fine, though).  The original shocks were replaced with non-electronic ones and the suspension sometimes squeaks. Some projects I had planned on working on were I to keep the car include fixing the power driver's seat (I have no power to switch, but haven't had time to backtrack to find out why), hooking up the parking brake, touching up paint.  There is a small dent above the right taillight and someone keyed the passenger side a bit and the nose cone has a few small cracks in the fiberglass.  Each is relatively easy to do.

Good car for the money. :)
