I always liked the rare bi-wing mono cars. I'm guessing this will sell quickly. Good luck with the sale. :cheers

Looks like there was a head gasket issue. No mention of what work was done on the repair.

Curious if you have any more information on the hydraulic clutch slave, besides V6 Mazda pickup?

No head gasket issue, I had to remove the head to fit new brass freeze plugs in the block. I had a valve job and head check just as preventative maintenance.
