    It’s cleared to be reimported.
    shipping is all the new owner will need to take care of from Niagara Falls NY.

    additionally the panel under the rear bumpers should have holes in it for the standard (under the car exhaust). as such that panel has been filled/repaired or replaced.

    Yes. This car is a traditional exhaust exit car originally.
    The parts and a note from the early nineties has resided with the car ever since.

    It doesn't appear to have the teak steering wheel. Is that correct? Any undercarriage shots?

    The wheel is not teak, correct. This is the wheel acquired with the car.

    Thanks SoCal. I agree, the car has lots of personality, it’s not sterile.

    I think the is a good $ range for a BB car

    As an owner of a couple C2's I have a little concern over the use of the word survivor in describing it. Paraphrasing NCRS, a survivor should be "50%+ unrestored, unrepaired, unmodified or refurbished and capable of being used as a benchmark for (restoration) of similar cars". Replacing consumables in the car life like tires, brakes, hoses etc are expected and excepted. The fact that the car has modifications to the exhaust, one body panel therefore paint, missing the teak wheel and a rebuilt engine IMO pushes the limits for the use of the word survivor. Thats a pretty hard line but one that should be mentioned. I have a very similar if not exact car and I wouldn't consider it a survivor.

    Again though this is a good price range for BB with A/C, good color combo and these mid years very fun and usable classics.

    Meister.
    I can live with that explanation.
    I think more than the sense of the word survivor in terms of originality the term survivor for this car is the fact that it was retrieved from Italy in it’s original condition.

    By no means do I intend to misrepresent this car and I thank you for the validation of price.

    Thanks Early Cat!
    I still have the car, I’m eager to sell it. I don’t want to see it sit all summer long and not be driven. [email protected]

    I think big block 4 speed with AC is a great option combination, only avaliable in 390 HP I believe.
