This one is a survivor! '79 Brat in great overall condition. Mostly original. Wheels and paint have been refreshed. Runs and drives great. Shifts nicely. Brakes are good. 4WD locks in no problem. 

The car is well optioned with a bunch of the cool OEM parts like matching push bar & roll bar, offroad lights, striping, all decals, and rear facing chicken seats with belts. 

Some paint bubbling a surface rust but nothing structural.
