The story on the car. (to the best of my knowledge)
I bought the car from a "Kid" that had it for sale for quite a while and wanted to get rid of it. He had inherited it from his grandfather that had brought it over from Germany. It had tail lights modified to put in turn signals but no emissions had been added. I have not had any issues with registering or inspections. I LOVE the car, but I am selling my house and do not know if I will have a place to work on it and have 2 other "project" cars. It has been a great comfortable car, and after above things are fixed, I would have no problem driving it cross country. But selling a house, divorce and things like that kind of change your priorities. I was going to park it at friends house for a while, but I would like it to get back on the road and that will not happen by my hands for a while.
I has Euro headlights that are adjustable at the dash and Euro bumpers. This would also make a good donor car for any one wanting to do a manual tranny swap, and euro lights and bumpers. I do not want to part it out myself as I am trying to sell my house and do not think a parted out car would make a good selling point.
