Is this a turbo? Is it European? It seems as though it has all the European features (front power windows, manual trans. and climate control). Did you replace the Euro speedo with American? (if of course it was Euro). 4 spd. or 5 spd? Smokey? When was the last time you had the valves adjusted? I know I just PMed you, but I just now came up with these questions.
Thanks
David

Are their any vacuum leaks (locks work)? You can e-mail with replies if you'd like. How long have you owned it? Do you have any records/receipts? I should probably be e-mailing you with these questions so we can do the rest over PM or e-mail.
Thanks
David

Could you please send me some more pictures? Especially those of rust or interior imperfections? One the drivers seat, is the front broken? It looks as though the pad is sagging in the front.
Thanks
David

I emailed you. I am very interested and have a house in Marcellus, MI, so might want to stop by for a test drive/look.
