Nope.  Interior is what came with the car.

Its a little rough, but definitely workable!

Too bad i don't have a 3.8 flywheel and clutch to go along with my t-5. That would be a fun roadkill like drive.

If you would part with it, I would be very interested in the wing.

Sure!  I'd like $200 for the wing.  The rest of the car comes with it as a bonus!  :)

Shipping is still up to you though!  :P

It does run!

Engine just has a slight knock and the idle is a little high.  ( IAC has been cleaned , TPS is new.)
Transmission does need adjusting, as there is a delay going into first or reverse.    TV cable adjustment would be my guess, as the car did drive from Wisconsin to Iowa without issue before it was parked.

Otherwise, its just the usual stuff that you would expect from a 27 year old car.

We just sold the property that the car is on, so it needs to go ASAP.
