Yes, I have the car at my home in Massachusetts and I'm looking for $3,000 for it. It will be going on e-bay soon. It has a hydraulic suspension and it was just repaired for $3,000. Anyone can send me a PM if you have any questions. When I get to work tomorrow I'll post more info and pictures.

It has a 4 cylinder gas engine.

This car was recently used as a prop in a major motion picture, The Pink Panther II, and driven by Steve Martin. They did work on the car to get it running for the filming. They spent $3,000 to fix the (green fluid) hydraulic system. Installed a new exhaust system. Gave the car a paint job to match the color of the car they used in France for the filming. The biggest problem with the car is the fuel tank is gunked up and they couldn't keep the car running so they temporarily added a fuel cell in the trunk and now it's removed. I Mickey moused a one qt. bottle under the hood to the fuel line and can run the car on it, the fuel tank needs to be removed and flushed out. This car has a cherry body on it (no rust or dents) and would make a excellent restoration project for someone.

This car is a 4 speed/front wheel drive. I drove it up and down my street and it shifts good and the clutch is excellent.

This is a picture of the car just before it was painted, as you can see the body is nice.

My home made fuel cell, but it works. The car starts right-up and I can move it around my yard to cut the grass.
