•Everything works but the power antenna is stuck in the up position and the tape player likes to hold on to cassettes. Drips some oil.

•The interior is in great shape with the exception of some flaking of “chrome” on the stalks and door pulls. The plastic around the driver door pull is cracked. The ring around the horn button has a crack. I just had to make a repair to the driver's seat after the vacuum brake install :(

•The cluster in the car shows about 65k miles. I have the original cluster with 87k miles that I replaced because the trip odometer didn’t work. The replacement had about 42k on it at the time of the swap. I can provide documentation with exact mileages.

Do you have pictures of the car with the stock wheels? Is there any rust issues? How is the exterior trim around all the glass? What was the reason for removing some of the performance parts?

I don't currently have pics with the stock wheels. The wheels in the pics are still on the car. I'll try to swap them out this week. They're the stock T wheels and centers in pretty good shape. The tires were on the car when I purchased it 14 year ago so they're old. They look good though.

There's no visible rust on the car now. The car was painted in 2006 but hasn't been driven much since. Prior to the last paint the car received new rockers and lower quarters so there's some history of rust but nothing now.

The 9/11 converter started having problems and I went back to the stock converter... which led to the stock turbo... and then everything else.
 
You can have the car with the 17" Fittipaldi wheels and spacers instead of the stock wheels. Same deal with the 18" MB wheels, but no tires with those unless you want to pay extra for them.
 
I am somewhat confused about the trouble with the torque converter and which turbo it currently has on it
