I bought the car just the other day for $1200 from the second owner of the vehicle. I had to drive to B.F. Egypt to get it but I cant complain the car is in remarkably good shape. The older gentleman i bought it from bought the car 2 years ago from an estate sale and drove it very rarely. The odometer reads 103000 miles and the body looks pretty well.Exterior:7 of 10 very small amount of rust, needs little body workInterior:8 of 10 only thing missing is the cover to the dome light everything else looks great seats are amazing, stock radio still works well, and all dash lights works, the only problem is a spaztic fuel gaugeEngine:9 of 10 runs excellent, i cleaned it up with some simple green and now it looks great, only problem is that the idle needs to be adjusted down

i was wondering where can i find performance parts for the z20 single plug engine? also what about suspension parts?

sweet find, thats a clean wagon, I think you'll have better luck swapping for the L20B, with dual webbers, header, hot cam etc

Buddy of mine had one when he and I went to the same school. It had an 8-track tape player and "wood" siding <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://images.nicoclub.com/forums/image ... /smile.gif" BORDER="0">
