More details: according to the previous owner, in the last year, the car has got new brakes (shoes, cylinders), new tires, new plugs & wiring. The car was his daily driver which I consider a good thing. He said the car needs the dash refurbished plus new door seals and cranks. Also, there is no front OR rear bumper...I'm not sure but I think having a rear bumper is a law in IL...but I'll need to check into it.

As far as plans, I'm not sure about that yet.....but there will definitely be performance upgrades....no V8 conversion because I want to keep the original character of the car....dropping in a 280ZX turbo engine is a possibility though....

sounds like a good starting point, the dash's are problematic and replacements are very expensive, dash caps however are cheap
