Description:

I bought this 2 years ago as a first car for my then 15 year old son / project for him and I to work on together. Life had other plans though and it's time to move on.

I have around $14K of parts into it, and the retired auto-mechanic I bought it from put in a remanufactured motor ~2K miles ago. He missed the oil separator in the PCV hose though, and ended up fouling the intakes and getting some valves stuck. I did a full timing rebuild, including camshaft. Definitely feels like a brand new motor when you floor it now!

I rebuilt and upgraded all suspension components, including 5 new wheels/tires. Brand new California/Colorado compliant exhaust. I did the headliner and thorough cabin disassembly and cleaning.

It could use a paint job or wrap, but I figure the new owner should pick the color. I probably would have picked a weird blue...

I have the clean title in hand, passed Colorado emissions and is registered, and will include receipts for the new parts. New tires / wheels are Les Schwab and are still under warranty, paperwork included.

Feel free to message me here, or text Ryan at 303.549.9645 if you prefer
