@allmackno, but I do know that happens a lot with New Mexico titles on older vehicles.
@Weavermtyes all the above work with the exception of the radio. The radio may just need a factory code to work.
@trashpanda911not sure, but I don’t think it was built with California emissions in mind..
@6thinline9Definitely no weird smells in the interior. The leather on the seating surfaces is very soft and in great condition. Everything appears to be in working condition and has not been altered from original. Regarding the gap between left and right rear tires, it does not appear to be different. Carobu fitted a set of their lowering springs, so I'm not sure why there would be a disparity in side to side ride height.
Here is link to a start up and driving video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtWjl_MX6D4
@WeavermtI can't seem to find the private message link on this site. Email me at [email protected].
@StuttgartClassixThanks, I'm trying. A lack of time has been the main problem.
If anyone would like the contact info for the two owners of Carobu send me a private message and I will get you the info. The are the best people to talk to answer more involved questions. I was also informed by one of the owners of Carobu that that the bottom end of the engine was not rebuilt, just the top end.
@StuttgartClassix This is not the same car that is in the video, which I made several years ago.
@WeavermtI looked under the car and the oil is definitely coming from the oil pan, which thankfully on this engine is not too difficult to do. The area between the engine and transmission is dry, so it's not the rear main seal.
@Ecceblack There is no rust showing around the body. I will get some photos of the rockers and underside. I tried to this evening but it was too dark to get any good photos. Not sure what you are referring to with the high idle? The engine runs great and has a normal idle. I will be uploading a video of it running and driving before the end of the auction.

@eccblack. I will see if I can get an idea of where the oil leak is coming from. I don't believe it's from the rear main seal. I am assisting Carobu (owner of the vehicle) with the sale of the vehicle, and am not the owner. I photographed it and was asked to help sell it. I will be uploading a driving video as well as a walk around video before the auction is over. I will also be uploading a dyno sheet with HP and torque results that were taken from Carobu's engine dyno. Another thing that was pointed out to me by one of Carobu's owners is that the car's suspension was modified with lowering springs and Koni shocks at the front but the swaybars are stock and not upgraded.
