What’s special about this listing

This rare 1979 Limited Edition is the 10th vehicle produced off the line—an early and highly collectible example. While not fully restored, it comes with a substantial collection of parts and recent mechanical updates.

The car retains its original 5-speed transmission, though the engine is not original. It includes brand-new replacement windows (currently not installed), as well as an uninstalled performance exhaust system that converts the car from single to dual exhaust.

Significant recent work has been completed, including new rotors, calipers, brakes, steering linkage, shocks, struts, and wheel bearings—providing a strong mechanical foundation.

Inside, the carpet has been replaced, though installation of the aftermarket seats remains unfinished. The original seats are not included, and the sunroof is unfortunately missing. However, most of the original components are still available and included with the car.

A unique opportunity for a collector or enthusiast looking to complete a rare early-production Limited Edition.
