Looking for a Zagoto thats been taken care and one you can drive anywhere in the country? This is it.
I'm not looking to get rich, I have over 15k in this car and I know I'm not going to get close to what I have in it. Her name is Gina and she's been through 2 kids, an ex wife, a current wife, 3 houses and a move or two. If I don't sell her no biggy, just have another 82 California Zagoto that needs my attention and a Triumph Staaaaaaag. JimPS don't ask what will I take, bid and find out.
