Will you consider the wheels separately? If so, who's first?

here is the side picture. the fender is blackened but wipes off, the wheels are fine also. It did bubble the batwing and the bottom of the bumper. I am going to put the harness is tomorrow morning but it will need some small things. Power steering resivior, cap, wires, some more vacum tubing. the fire also got the plx wiring but it seems like it still works, the wire is about six feet too long anyways so you could spliceit down. The car needs paint mainly because it has been buffed through in some small spots and it needs a windshield. It is cracked when I changed the wiper blades. I found a place to replace it for $200.

Buying a Noble, eh? I'm surprised nobody's commented on that, because any Noble would eat our 951's for breakfast...oh and lunch, and dinner as well.

M400? Please say yes...

BTW impressive interior for such a "driven" car. nice and clean.

that was the car at newport. the wiper blade change was a horrible experience. I learned not to put it up with no blade on it. It snapped down. the reason the interior looks so nice is beacuse it is out of a car with 50k. I wanted black and got the whole mint interior. The dash is original and does have cracks. I wired in the injector harness and replaced some vacum lines today but it runs fine. drove it and not even a vacum leak still pulling 20psi vac at idle.

This car really needs to be fixed, especially since you have had it running already. A little work and it would at least be driveable and mainly needing paint work.

This message is for the others here....it is a little late for your car unfortunately.

There was a RECALL on that fuel line because of this problem. I like to replace them now due to age also.

I am very sorry that this happened to you car, at least you did get to save it by acting quickly....could have been much worse.
