Original California Car from day 1 and it shows very clean and virtually No Rust just minor bubbling in few spots Solid & Original Floors no rust repairs whatsoever I bought this car from private seller in TN earlier this year I wanted a car that I can drive and enjoy while I work on her and make it nicer previous owner had this car from 2004 to 2017 and rarely driven seller said he logged less than 3000 miles in 13 years

The e9 started live as Baikal Blue & Automatic but fully repainted to Polaris in early 2000s

Previous Owner after purchase in 2004 sent the car to a shop in CA to perform the Auto to Manual conversion I have the paperwork at the same time bunch of Maintenance items were addressed - New Clutch Kit, Front & Rear Main Seals, New Master & Slave Cylinders and other work
