Passed down through the Nasser family following its time on display, t’s been used minimally since and appears to remain in quite nice condition throughout. Black factory alloys offset the pale blue beautifully, nd we’re always happy to see an 1800 retain its original, legantly swept twin exhaust exits and period style tires.Dove gray leather complements the exterior perfectly, nd all materials including carpets and natural leather luggage straps seem to be very nice quality. Note the equally well appointed trunk with matching floor cover and factory style spare tire cover.Factory-installed A/C blows cold and instruments and switchgear are complete and in good working order. Upholstery has been redone with OEM accurate stitching and details.A tidy engine bay houses the car’s original fuel-injected B20E four cylinder rated at 130 horsepower.
