Service done since July 2022 includes timing belt and pulley replacement, water pump, injectors and gaskets, distributor, and fuel pump and filter. A lot of work remains to make it pretty again. It could make a great project car for this winter.

No Reserve. A first for Auction Watch, Ocean Blue pearl over 2-tone black/gray interior with leather seats; and it has a power-retractable blue soft top.
