It is my pleasure to bring this car for your consideration. I am the seller, not the owner. The owner, whom I have known for 25 years through the NW vintage TSD rally circuit, asked me to handle the auction on his behalf, as I am more versed in photography and computers than he. He and I will be in close communication throughout the auction to respond to your questions as fully as possible.\r\n\r\nHe bought the car in 1971 as a daily driver during his college years. At that time it was just a car, so no meaningful records were kept. Over the years it was always well maintained, and at some point became a second car as kids arrived on the scene. Eventually more cars came into the garage, but this one always stayed and to this day is frequently enjoyed for a trip down memory lane. Maintenance was always attended to, and in the 90's it received a make over with new paint, carpet etc. As described in the listing, various other elements were attended to as needed to keep the car in good driving trim. \r\n\r\nAs \"robdeo\" and \"B20wagon\" state, the odometer is not the best measure of this car's history. We intentionally stated only what the odometer shows because there is not a complete paper trail from day one to substantiate a definitive, verifiable number. It is entirely possible that the odo has rolled over once. It is not a concours car. It is a car that has had the benefit of sensitive ownership, continual use and supportive maintenance. We have attempted to make as complete a presentation as possible, and we look forward to insights from BaT enthusiasts.

Also, as can be seen in the photo gallery, a compression test conducted a month ago revealed excellent and consistent numbers on all cylinders. \r\n\r\nThere was a question about wind noise in the driving video. Yes, there is a fair amount of noise that seems to me to be the product of a sensitive microphone much more than the actual noise you perceive when driving.
