Talking Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very similar to the white one you pictured.
3 cylinder
2 stroke
radiator behind the motor kinda laying down crossways.
lever shocks, which btw, you can fill with your own oil and vary the resistance. Use 50w for rough driving or 20w for light highway. The only rebuildable shock I ever had on a car.
Turned out the clutch was O.K.
I replaced the disc anyway while it was tore down
---------------BUT---------------
the freewheel mech in the trans had come apart and was free all the time.
I had the body shop guy weld it solid so I could drive the car and not have to buy a new one.
My wife said it was the ugliest car ever made.
I bought it for $150.oo (a weeks pay in 1977)
and sold it for $500.oo to pay for my first 96.
At the time I worked for
Bibb Svenska Imports
Jeff-Davis Highway, Richmond.
The 99EMS and the 2nd Sonnet came from private owners. All the rest I got while at Bibbs.
I would buy another 95 in a heartbeat. Or 99, or Sonnet, I'm not thrilled with the direction of the company since the mid 90's.
