Lofty title for a car that will essentially have a mild drop, a set of IPD sways and some shiny bits but hey, it's fine......
As it sat with the PO:

Name of the car comes from the fact that this is Amazon #4 for me and I needed to differentiate it from my 4 door black on red Amazon (currently listed for sale).
Back story: bought the car sight unseen out of the Bay area (Richmond, CA) on Ebay. Seller was mildly honest in his description, and even that is a stretch. Passenger side upper shock had sheared off, no mention of that. Car was on 3 shocks, engine and trans were resting on cross member/engine subframe with only the transmission mount sitting in its place. There was rust, far more than was disclosed (trunk area on passenger side, floorboards, etc...)

Took the car to a local restoration shop I trust and had them replace the rusty bits.

The car came with a ton of spare parts, almost all in very good condition. I sold some, kept some and decided to run some of the parts I had here on it.
B20, M41, Classic Swede suspension package, IPD sways, etc....

More to come... This one was purchased on mid May, it needs to be my daily by Labor Day weekend (1st weekend of September). It knocked off a solid month with travel and other commitments this summer, so I set myself roughly 30 days to knock it out. Should be fine, this isn't my first Amazon.
