Car is fast with good acceleration, starts right up and is a good running, driving car, currently on California non-operation. It corners like a slot car and stops on a dime. It rides surprisingly smooth and quiet with a light road feel due to low wind resistance. Gets about 30 mpg trip, 25 town. Car is not overly loud and has a deep, rich idle tone with sport car rasp under power. Imagine pulling into a gas station and pop the top on this baby!

Will consider trade for well-equipped, good running Honda or Toyota, etc. Serious inquiries only. PLEASE E-MAIL questions to Ron at: Ronjanmayfield@att.net Thanks, Ron.
