HISTORY

I bought this off mt.net (previous for sale ad) and never had time to enjoy it. My plan was to have it dyno tuned, put a roll bar in, and make it my auto-cross and track day toy, but never found the time, so it just sat since I already had a daily driver. After sitting for a long time, I changed all the fluids about 6 months ago (gas, oil, trans fluid, diff fluid, coolant), added fuel stabilizer with fresh gas, and changed the thermostat and plugs.

I haven't made any changes except for the maintenance items described above and disconnecting of the kill switch that seemed to be draining the battery.

STATUS

Clean title in-hand.
Currently registered non-operational. DMV registration is about $80. Smog required for registration and to be handled by new owner.
Mileage is 235k. Not sure if engine is original or not.
Battery is dead
VIN JM1NA3512M1211321

I'll get updated photos as soon as I get a chance, unless someone jumps on it and takes it off my hands first.

Inspection is available weekday evenings (inside lighted garage) and most times on the weekend in Anaheim.

Please let me know if you have any questions or want to schedule a time to come check it out.
