Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1980 Rover 3500 offers a desirable five-speed manual transmission and a rebuilt 3.5-liter V8 updated with a four-barrel carburetor. However, the listing notes rust treatment, a torn driver's seat, non-working A/C requiring a new compressor, and an inaccurate mileage title, suggesting it needs attention.
Condition
5
The car has had rust treated under trim pieces, the driver's seat is torn with other interior blemishes, and the air conditioning needs a new compressor. The odometer also states 'Not the Actual Mileage'. These indicate noticeable wear and necessary reconditioning.
