It looks really clean. They have it listed as an automatic but obviously isn't. That looks like a good price. I would buy it. The only thing that concern me is if it has the original motor.

no power differences, yes to the rest of your questions

looks like a very clean car, completely stock, and I mean COMPLETELY. Base model. If you buy it, change those vacuum hoses STAT.

It looks very clean, even better it is virgin. You can mod it the way you want, sometimes it's not good to buy somebody's mess.

+1 on the compression check, go for a test drive and see how you like it.
