A nice looking car.

But there is something wonky about the gaps where the hood, bumper, and left wing come together. It almost looks like the bumper is sagging a bit.

Maybe it needs the hood adjusted, and the bumper is an optical illusion.

But I would pay close attention to determine if it was in a front end collision on that side. That would explain why it was sitting disassembled.

Its got a Euro rear bumper -- or at least they replaced the US rubber over riders with the smaller Euro ones when they repainted. But it seems to be a U.S. model.

The sport seats are nice, although the redone cloth inserts are a funky period touch with selective appeal. They are valuable if original, but I question whether it came from the factory way -- the colors don't really go with the paint, IMO. I think it is another Euro touch on a US car -- like the rear bumper treatment.

If the hood thing is just an adjustment issue, it seems a reasonable price, but on the high side given the engine swap. It could be a negotiating point for a few thousand less.
