The current owner bought the car from his friend in 2004 with 1364 miles on it. This car is one of themost well-cared forautomobiles you will ever find!!! Every piece of paperwork has been collected since day one and since 2004 a complete and impeccable service and maintenance history/receipts is included. As you can see in the photos, this car is immaculate and needs nothing! Just over the last month, the owner spent $1000 in a new hi torque starter, battery and had all cables soldered for superb connections.The exhaust (mufflers) were redone in 2012, Tires were replaced in 2010 at 4256 miles.

The paint is original and has fantastic luster, withonly a few random chips, as expected on a vehicle that is 26 years old.

The car comes with the chrome plated quick-jack pads, headlights screens, tonneau cover, soft top, and front end bra, as originally ordered. The radio head-unitwas removed, is however included. The amp and speakers are still in their original location.
