Very nice example but likely he wants more than what it's worth

It has a nice color combo and a great look but to me these will always be 5K cars.

Had one, great handling and the most comfortable seats ever but no power and no hope getting any.  And the wonderful italian electronics were such a joy.  Plus they look like a vega.  I wouldn't pay over 2 for one.

Actually, with head, block work, better carb and exhaust you can get close to 150 bhp

And it will still be slow.  Did cams, exhaust and a massive weber. It revved but still got beat by so many cars in the day.  Still it was the best handling FWD I have ever driven, but a pure momentum ride.

This looks like one of the fake Craigslist postings where they write a description like its from wikipedia.

Of course now a zagato coupe comes up locally tempting me to make the same mistake again.

If it is in facebook yes I saw it.  And I also found a red one in craigslist.  Keep reminding myself of the electrical night mares, windows and headlights that would fail at random.
