*Update* since these photos were taken: The upper rad hose that goes from the thermostat to the water pump split. It has been replaced with a black OEM hose. The rear half of the center console has been replaced with one that doesn't have holes drilled into it from a previous owner's car phone mount.

I've spent the past 2 years fixing this car up to be an amazing daily driver and it is. I just need to let it go now. There's the assortment of rock chips and body dings that you'd expect with a 33-year-old car and the clear coat is peeling off the passenger fender. But the paint cleans up well, there's only surface rust in the normal locations, and the hard top seals WORK. If this listing is still posted the car is still available.

Hi, I was wondering if this is still available and if so where are you located?

[Mookinator]

Hi Sean, the car is still available and I am located in Phoenixville, PA 19460. Thanks.

Shoot, I thought this chat would send me an email. I've been watching my email, just happen to come back and refresh the page.

I'm going to price some shipping and flights.
If you had to drive to Idaho, would you trust this car to get you there?

Also, how solid is the price, would you take 10k?

I just replied not sure what happened to it, not used to this forum.

Sean. I drive it to work every single day. A few weeks ago I took it on a 3hr trip to a beach house. Ran flawlessly the entire time. I would have no hesitations about driving it across the country.

$10k is a bit low, but the price is negotiable.
