Looks like a nice car. Can you do a driver video from inside the car? Did you put the roll bar in? Did you track this car or was it tracked by the previous owner?? That’s a lot of miles, has the engine been rebuilt? Trans or clutch?
from the seller:
New clutch 20k ago. When I get home from camping I can send a video from inside the car.
Hello
Does the car have overdrive?
