Needs a fuel pump and higher miles but no visible rust, pristine interior, 5-speed, seems well-maintained by an enthusiastic owner.

That's a 92 or newer, not a 91.

I'm just going by the ad. And failed to mention the best part of the ad; It comes with a free case of PBR!

Whew glad that is 3000 miles away... that seems like the perfect donor for a mid-engine Locost build that I don't have time or room for.

And with the case of Pabst, it could also be shotgun time!

I figured.  Just wanted to put that out there because I'm a pedant.  laugh

Oh dear. That is 1.3 miles from my house. Google is suggesting I walk.

(By the way, VIN decoder I found on a truck forum agrees with the 1991 claim - what doesn't look right?)

It's the refreshed model, which debuted in 1992.  The rear bumper, wheels, and interior are different.  At least I'm pretty sure.  If there was a view of the front, it would help.

...is this too big and low to rallycross? Asking for a friend.

Yes, when you turn the wheel and stomp the throttle it will just pick up the inside tire and melt it.

The ad says he will have it towed to your house for free! No mention of maximum distance

Bad fuel pump so it won't run. Get towed to your house and you install that pump and then try to crank it over only to discover that it's got a spun rod bearing?

I had a 92 and I don't remember the dash looking like that one. A front end view of the headlights would be conclusive
