That "Buy it Now" price of $8,500 can't be right. That car looks fantastic with the pics that are posted. It would be nice to have a VIN and engine pics.

That's not a 79 - it is a 78. They got it wrong. The vin is for a 78 Euro. Which based on the federalized rear side markers, looks like the vin is correct for the car.
This could be a very good buy for someone at that price. Great color and interior combination.

I'm interested, but I'm not a big fan of green. My problem is that I would need to look like Scubby Doo to match that interior. Plus with those low miles I wouldn't feel like I could drive it as much as I would want.

It's the fastest 78 you're going to find. That green and pascha is classic. Some clean up and this will be a great car. Insure it and drive it--that's what they are meant for...

interesting the front fenders appear to be US but rear quarters and bumper cover are euro/row.
mileage can't be confirmed as they would have changed the speedo

Has been on and off eBay for a while, among other sites, was on 'BAT' in 2013 with phone dial, I believe....
Probably hit in front with replacement US front end?

door sticker says "none-catalyst " which makes it illegal for California narrows the market a bunch. And unless very well documented the odometer reading means NOTHING.... I think I prefer it with phone dials and $1,000 cheaper on BAT
Clearly one that needs a VERY GOOD inspection to have a better idea what is there.

That's what I was thinking.

This car has popped up on Ebay several times, as noted above. It's always intrigued me...so much green! Lol....the weird thing, I could swear that this car previously had a fairly torn-up interior. I suppose they could be different cars, but seriously, how many green/green/pascha Euro 5-speeds could there be in Miami? Maybe it did sell, and the current owner put some work into it? No idea. I want someone local here in South Florida to buy it so I can check it out

And, the listing has ended. Again. Something just seems weird...
