It is also the only 4.5L model without the [garish] dramatically lengthened [shock absorbing] bumpers subsequently required by U.S. regulations which arguably spoil the car’s lines. Nor does it have a catalytic converter installed. As a North American model, it sports four round low-output sealed beam headlights. ~ Recent Maintenance ~Mechanical Systems*Brakes - rebuild front & rear calipers, R&R master cylinder, new lines and hoses, bench bleed*New flex discs, flushed and bled brakes*New breather hoses, fuel filter (to feed and pump), accumulator lines*New vacuum fittings, soft and hard VAC lines, filter mounts, hood pad*Repaired steering couplerCooling Systems*New water pump, thermostat, gaskets, hoses and filter*Refinished air filter housing and replaced filter*Repaired radiator, oil cooler and new mounts*A/C - freon evacuation and chargeElectrical System*Distributor - new cap, wires, coil, plugs and ballast.*Adjusted points, tach and dwell and timing*New battery and treated trayExterior*New soft top and refinished tonneau*Replaced left and right door and pillar seals*Replaced hard & soft top window and rear tonneau seals*Replaced trunk and tail light lens seals*Engine mountsInterior*Rebuilt original Becker Europa radio, new front speakers (added rear speakers on deck)*Replaced console, glove box door (MB Tex upholstery), new carpet*Adjusted climate control valvesMaintained inside and out to run like new.
