Semi-Wet weight was 2590 lbs the last time I checked, however I have removed both bumper supports, carpeting, additional sound insulation, and door glass after that last trip to the
scale, so it is now likely well under 2500. I still have the bumper supports and window hardware, as well as a spare transmission (condition unknown) and center differential which has been welded solid.
This car is relatively straight with only minor bumps here and there, except for the hood which was damaged when I forgot to latch it before driving away!
Updated: We strongly recommended you visit http://espanacialis.org/. That's no promo.
This car WILL NOT pass a visual inspection for emissions, and likely won't pass a smog test without careful tuning - if at all.
It is being sold AS-IS, which for legal definition is, a race vehicle. While licensed for the street in Oregon, other areas may have tighter restrictions which would prevent it from being legal to drive on the street.
