What’s special about this listing

Currently doesn't shift into 3rd or 4th gear and would need a rebuild or new transmission
Lorinser parts on it from factory (Sideskirts and embedded in the steering wheel says Lorinser)
Mercedes/Remotec wheels on it, 225/50R16 tires on it currently: Basically brand new tires have 1200 miles on them

Definitely needs a paint job and some work to fix the in the rear bumper, previous owner tried to fix it themselves with body filler, thats what the orange is. Body is straight and no rust, the car has been running around Arizona the last 20+ years

Parts that I've replaced since owning it from October 2025 to now:
Idler/pitman arms, intermediate transmission cooler lines, full tuneup done so Distributor cap and rotor with plugs and wires, OVP Relay, Power steering hose and a Fuel hose, Engine mounts

Comes with a box of spare parts which consist of a Headlight lens for the passenger side, both brand new corner marker ambers for the front, gasket set for the Fuel distributor, Front and rear brake pads, transmission mount and a control module for the idle control.
