Non stock pull out radio w/ cd installed with nice sounding speaker. However we have the original Becker Europa 11 to be installed - may or may not need servicing first.

NEWER Michellin 195 70 14 tires.

Things I would do to the car: Rear windows move slow and do not go down all the way, lock is inop, eat belt light stays on, love box is locked, eplace headliner and interior front seats w/ few trim pieces (front seats sides have some rips). I got an estimate in Los Angeles for full replacement of interior for $1,000 to make new. I am a perfectionist so was going to buy and install a new dash - it has a cover now and never even looked under so maybe has a crack ..)

Some wood in the car is new, ome with some de-lamination you may wish to replace at your leisure. Paint is nice as a nice driver w/ a small blemish under driver door handle.

THIS IS A RARE COUPE. GO AHEAD AND LET ME KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE YOU MAY FIND ON EBAY, TC.. AND WHEN YOU DO OF THIS YEAR AND THEN IN THIS COLOR, ORGET ABOUT THE MILEAGE AND DRY NON RUST. THESE CARS WILL CLIMB, AYBE SORT OF A SLEEPER NOW, ET WILL GO UP IN VALUE.. A GREAT CAR.. ENJOY AND HAPPY MOTORING.
