"all work done by Rick@northbaybavarian over the last 12 yrs.".
Rick is extremely knowledgeable and is a long time coupe owner himself. If this car was in his care for that long, that is a very serious positive

Photos must be from different eras. I see both an automatic and manual. Listing says “5-sp”, maybe it was recently done.
if you spent 70k on work on a coupe and you just swapped in a b35 (no indication of rebuild), swapping in a 5 speed makes sense. i have asked what the VIN is ... that will tell us how it was born
looks like the coupe is probably sold ...
I've known Rick at NBB since I was a little kid and has worked on many cars of mine and my families for years and years. My sister owns a Colorado Tii that was his personal car and it is insane. This looks like a steal. Nice climate too in Booneville. It is way inland from Mendocino, hot and dry, not by the ocean. So if kept indoors, this should be in great shape. Also, love the color

Most likely started as a slush box, then converted to 5-speed after conversion...this car won't be for sale for very long...
Interesting fact:

I doubt there is a Google translator for Boontling but cool little area (just remember where you are and you are NOT a local), used to hunt there as a kid. I.e.- Don't mess with the locals. Really a good motto for most places.
And many of you on here most likely have sipped on an Anderson Valley Beer from Anderson Valley Brewing over the years. Great drive from Sonoma County, through Boonville to Mendocino. CHECK IT OUT someday.
