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 Attached thumbnail(s)

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.
