This car was purchased out of Reno, where it has lived most of it's life. I have records that include the original Service Record book Showing purchase and delivery in Reno.

So far I have replaced the battery, alternator, alternator wiring harness, fuel pump, lower ball joints, front wheel bearings, rear shocks, strut cartridges, dash top, seats, door panels, roll bar pad, upper windshield pad, visors, inside windshield side pads, and I'm sure I'm leaving something out. It has carpet floor mats in the later loop style to keep from wearing out the carpet. New early rain tray with mounts. Correct relay board cover.

This car as very little if any rust. I plan to drop the motor to get good pics of the hell hole, but from below and the fender wells it looks great. The longs are solid. It has an external oil cooler mounted aft the passenger side trans-axle.

Has flat tow bracket and LE air dam, so it's easy to tow. I do this as the wife prefers the creature comforts on longer drives.

Factory fuel injection, starts up every time. Very reliable. Has high flow stainless muffler installed.

I did put up on the rack to clean off what looked like over spray, but it's actually factory undercoating. Bonus!

It has had some previous owner modifications that I feel were tastefully done, so I left them. It has a 10k tach, a nice combo gauge with oil temp and pressure. The fuel quantity was located to the dash in the /6 position. It also has drilled rotors all the way around.

Nice solid car that really needs nothing right now.
Running stock fuel injection.

The bad- the paint job is a 5'er. However, it means I don't mind driving it!

Thought I'd post it up here 1st. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

PS Please note I have added back the fog lights, now in amber, however I need to wire up for the LED headlights to work correctly. ALSO car has stainless exhaust installed currently

Asking $22,500 as I cant find any rust on this car

Looks like a beaut with great documentation. Very desirable color. I like the Rivs but if anyone doesn't it would cost VERY LITTLE to swap to Fuchs, Pedrinis, or steelies with caps (what it probably came with).

I had thought about swapping the wheels out, as they aren't MY favorite, but thinking I may just do so for the show.

I'll post up pics soon.

Folks, this one looks great. I check out just about ever car for sale and If I was in the market I would strongly consider this one.

Please stand by -
I'm in the process of making some changes here!

I decided to drop the motor to clean it up some and make some changes

1) I'm steam cleaning the entire engine compartment and under the transmission
2) Ceramic coating the exhaust
3) Cleaning up and repainting all engine tin, intakes and de-greasing everything. (PS numbers matching tin - see post in garage)
4) All new hoses
5) All new Alternator wiring harness, Ignition harness, and Fuel injection harnesses, Engine tin rubber.
6) Pulling heads and sending out for top end refresh (Fly cutting for 96mm Pistons and Sleeves) for 1911cc build.

So car will not be ready til 10/15/24

Will be asking $28K

Taking a little longer than planned, but possibly sold locally.
Will be a week before I can meet up, but sounds very promissing.

Ran out of time and tapped Alled over at A&P auto to finish up getting this together for my customer. I wanted to make the engine compartment spotless, but ran out of time.
