After a long deliberation, I have decided to sell my TE28. I am moving to BC in a few weeks and going to university full-time and financially, I am forced to part ways with my car. I have owned the car for close to a year and over the past year I have taken amazing care of the car. The original owner, and one of my good friends, Graham (Primo_Toy) can attest to the quality of care I have treated to this vehicle (He will also probably rip my head off for selling it). The car was parked all winter and during the time it wasn't parked it was washed and detailed at least twice a week. Being a TE28 (2 door wagon), this car is extremely rare and unBELIEVABLY clean, inside and out. Gets looks EVERYWHERE.

The previous owner built this car from a 99.9% rust free bare shell. The only rust that was on it got removed in order to swap front ends. It has has a full 1972 front end conversion included the front valance, turn signals, and rad support. All parts were properly prepped, and spot welded in factory locations to the point you can't tell it's been swapped. The wheels were dismantled and refinished. Even the bolts for the wheels have been dipped in acid to remove rust then Zinc-chromate plated to factory rust. The entire brake system is new. From the pads on the pedals, to the master cylinder, all the way to rebuilt calipers and rear wheel cylinders. The clutch was new last summer (exedy) as it also recieved a new master and slave cylinder.

The engine came out of a super low milage automatic, so before the 5 speed pairing it had never been lugged, or over revved. It makes great compression, and passes a leak down test.

I have done regular oil changes every 4000 km's and tuned/cleaned the carb at least twice a month. The car gets AMAZING fuel mileage. Costs about $30 to fill the tank and a little more than half a tank of gas will get you to Calgary. The car had a 4-wheel alignment about 2 weeks ago and new tires put on a week ago.
