Condition

While the car has been refurbished with a rebuilt engine and new components, the listing mentions that the car has been campaigned in SCCA events, indicating it has been used for racing. The seller also mentions Hawk Black brake pads, replacement caliper main seals, and rear tires were recently installed, suggesting regular maintenance and wear from track use. The lack of an odometer means total mileage is unknown. Although the car is in good condition for its intended use, it is not pristine due to its history as a race car and lack of mileage information.
