More from the seller:
Couple things about this car.
Dead reliable – completely daily driveable if you want to.
Completely obnoxious to daily drive. Manual steering, no insulation, no radio, noisy, hot, stiff, so it’s miserable as a daily driver, but the reliability is there.
I drive it to and from all autoX events, and to work once a week or so in the summer. Occasional cruising on weekends. (doesn’t overheat even moving 2mph on woodward weekend for hours)
It’s rusty.
