Description:

I have a very nice Nevada 1600-2 that I haven’t had the time to enjoy.  Had about $8K in service at Excluservice in Rockville, MD prior to parking it.  Also had a new clutch done at Martin Motorsports in Alexandria, VA.  Fired it up regularly, but after sitting for a bit it didn’t fire up last try.  I’m sure I can get running just fine again before selling.  Had the front cover replaced at Excluservice in Rockville, MD along with numerous other things for the last big service, but the front cover still seems to be leaking.  I’m sure I’m way past their warranty on the work, so haven’t contacted them about it.  Paint is not in good shape and the floor pan behind the drivers seat needs to be replaced.  
 

The car has uninstalled door panels from Aardvark that are still in their packaging.  Has the e9 rear seats and records from aardvark as well.  They’re all mint. I’ve owned a few since the 90s, so I have an extensive parts list that I could possibly part with, but doubt let much of it go.  
 

This car has a binder of records going back to the original owner’s cancelled check for his deposit when ordered new. West coast car until I bought it.  
 

At my $15K asking price I’m losing money, but still suspect I could be asking too much.  Hopefully I’m asking too little.  I could let it sit for several more years, but I’m thinking it is best for me to buy a fully done car when I have the time to enjoy it.  I’m tearing down the garage soon as well.
 

I’m attaching a few pictures, but can get more detailed shots as well. I would rather send it to the next owner with the steel wheels, but have a couple sets of restored and rather rare wheels as well.

Also, paint looks way better in the pictures. Excluservice also mounted the electric fuel pump to the passenger side shock tower which was kind of a blower for me when I saw it.  I would relocate it and the shock towers are perfect.

Wow, what a nice car. Good luck with the sale I bet you will have a buyer soon. My 1600 has a hard time starting if it sits too long. A little gas poured down the carb will get it to fire right up.

Thank you!  Paint is far worse than it looks in the pictures, but it’s a very nice and solid car.  I’m sure it would fire up with a little gas in the carb.  
 

If I find a good home I’ll let it go, but otherwise it will sit comfortably and I’ll wait for time to enjoy working on when the kids are a bit older.

Looks like a nice survivor especially if that paint is original as I suspect it is. I’m loving the wheels to.

Definitely not all original, but it’s a survivor and was taken care of over the years.  Those are my favorite wheels I have for it.  They’re absolutely perfect as are the Cinturatos mounted to them.

Can’t believe you’re selling it - but understand since you don’t drive it.

 

Hopefully will see you soon at any car event.

Well, I’m still on the fence, Jim.  If I find a good home it will go and if not it will stay.  I’m tempted to get a 3.0csi to replace it at some point.
