The ultimate, and distinctive, fuel-efficient vehicle! This beautiful driver has been completely rebuilt over the past ten and a half years I have owned it, with significant upgrades to make it reliable and perform well (i.e. single Weber downdraft carburator, custom header, electronic ignition, new wiring throughout, the best Michelins available in that size).

I will consider a trade in whole or in part for a crossover, SUV, or other family-friendly vehicle (I now have a fifteen-month-old daughter at home, and much as I love the car, she comes first! - smile). In the meantime, if you are in or near the Houston area (the car is actually in Sugar Land) and wan
