This car had been my daily driver since 2002. ---- I recently upgraded to a newer car.

 It is fully functional/road worthy.   New timing chain in 2007, new emergency brake cable two years ago. Stainless steel exhaust. It will go 65 mph but the engine is racing, will do 55 with no problem.  It has been on the east coast for nearly 10 years. Clutch is good. Shifts smoothly through 4 gears and into reverse. Lights all work. Tires are ok. Nice set of alloy rims included! Paint is pealing. Heater control console is not in place, spare one from parts car is included.  Many, many extra parts.  Take as much as you want - see all the pics.

Floor boards are intact. There is significant rust at the rocker panels.   If the gas tank is filled to the brim you can smell raw gas.  I only fill it half way with no problems/odor.  There is a tick, tick, tick sound from the engine that has not changed since I bought the car with 68 K miles, it's probably a wrist pin. The previous owner said that noise hadn't changed since he bought the car with 30 K miles. The front bumper needs new mounting studs. The drivers side seat belt take-up spring doesn't work.

The car has been modified as follows.  The OE fuel pump has been replaced with a universal.  The OE alternator has been replaced with a new one that fits an 83 nissan sentra.  The OE brake booster/master cylinder has been removed. A new master cylinder for an 01 ford escort has been fitted in place. The brakes work but not as well as OE. The car was backed into. The fender and hood are wrinkled. The chassis is straight. There is a crack on the windshield that has consistently passed inspection in MA. The headlight dimmer switch does not "click" as it should, you simply push it forward for brights and pull it back for dims.  Buyer is responsible for pick-up where is /as is.  These cars were not designed for Inter-state speeds.  It has ~110 k miles, no visible smoke in the day light but it does burn some oil.  $500 deposit through PayPal with balance in cash at time of pick-up.  Buyer will need to take car and as many parts as desired with-in two weeks of purchase.    Buyers with no transaction history will need to contact me through "ask seller a question".
