Forum member 83240D (David) did the motor swap. Went through it very thoroughly after the previous owner got shafted on a bad eBay deal. He claimed to have $6000 into it after a year of ownership. I'm waiting to here from David as to exactly what he did and will report back.
Jack points have some surface rust, as does the door jams. Missing some exterior trim pieces. Dash is cracked up, seats look fine but have some spring sag. Runs and drives fantastically. Really good pep. Shifts are a bit stiff...
$999.99 REDUCED to a forum member. Put rock solid firm on my prices on CL to avoid the lowballers. Gave $1500 in trade. Not enough time to mess with this one.
