Well, I looked at it and drove it this morning. The car is indeed a Euro model, but the engine is a U.S. turbo version. The interior, in a word, is BEAT. Everything is bent, broken, cracked, or torn. The body is straight and rust-free, but the hood pad is missing. Whoever installed the engine didn't hook up the vacuum lines worth a damn. They're all disconnected and/or plugged, which may describe the car's other problems: it's very hard to start and won't shutdown. The engine blows blue smoke constantly. The transmission and clutch shift smoothly and the engine develops good power to a point and then the vacuum leaks tend to negate it. The suspension is tight and the brakes are good. It is missing one wheel cover and will NEED new tires. To me, $1750 is just too high for the amount of work required, even if I performed all of the labor myself. The lot owner claims he turned down $1450. He probably should have taken it. I offered $900.

If anyone's interested, the car is located near Hinton, Oklahoma and the seller can be contacted at 405-284-6464.
