Selling this car is difficult as it holds a lot of sentimental value and is the result of a horrendous car collision I was in just over a year ago. To give you a comprehensive view of its condition, I've created a detailed video showcasing its beauty, performance, and the extensive work done on it. This is a perfect starting point for any collector, and it’s ready to drive.

Key Highlights:

• Mechanically Sound: Drives flawlessly, shifts smoothly, and steers perfectly with no unusual noises.
• Fully Functional Interior: All options work, including seats and sunroof. Modern radio & speakers with Bluetooth and AUX input installed.
• Rust-Free: Zero rust, and everything unbolts easily for maintenance.
• No Leaks: No oil, diesel, or Transmission leaks.

Maintenance and Repairs:

• Alignment: Car drives straight, but the steering wheel is slightly off-center by 5 degrees. No play in the steering box. Drives perfectly fine as is.
