Originally cost ~$75k USD in 1975 (over $400k today).
Only ~16 units ever produced worldwide before the company shut down.
 
We put quite a few grand into getting the brakes fixed and the engine serviced, however the new owner will have to invest should they want it restored to a road-ready state. The windscreen requires replacement as it's had cracks since before our time. We have driven on temp rego's multiple times for servicing, but now recommend flatbed transportation as indicators, wipers and fuel gauge currently not working.
This is a serious collector vehicle or museum-grade restoration candidate. Would suit someone who wants a passion project and appreciates the classics.
