I think that is the car old man neri thinks he is getting into every nite when he gets out of flight school. (when there isn't 4 feet of snow on the ground.)

Actually I like the looks of the car, I never would pay what they are asking and the exhaust pipes look like two water pipes I have in my basement. Just my 2c.

Actually my car is lipstick red, not can-can red. Not sure if there is a difference. Also, I don't think I would ever get in a car with that kind of front bumper, not quite my style.

But you are right about the snow but the stuff is slowly melting. We had our first rain fall yesterday to wash the salt away, I was happy.

Hey, as long as I'm yankin' your chain I'm happy. It won't be long until it's too hot to bring mine out by the light of day......I expect you to return the favor.

It's clean, but you have to wonder about its purpose...

Somehow it just doesn't strike me as a 12,600 mile car. (unless it was all done on the track)
+1 on Pete's observation

At least 1/3 to high in price if the mileage and condition is accurate.

Mabye they dropped off a "1" on the mileage.

I checked out a 74 Targa a few years ago and in the as it stated 58,000 miles.

Looked at the car and the records and detrmined it really had 158,000 miles which was confirmed by the prior owner and mileage on the maintenance records. I spoke to the salesperson about this and he stated that they consided it to have about 58,000 miles on it since that's hiow many miles are on the motor since it was rebuilt and refused to change the ad.

Actually the car looks well sorted for some track use. The interior looks to be in great shape. Although I would gut the car for track use, I also would prefer a Coupe.

(nope not a lucky guess, i think we talked about that car one time before on this forum)

To me it just looks like someone bought a 20K car, dumped 16K into it and now wants their money back.

OP, I notice you are in NJ, if you are actually considering getting this car consider the fact that it looks like the heat has been gutted from it.
