I have had my eye on this car for a while. Thursday it was by the Highway for sale. I got the number off the car and called him. Usually they say they want like 3000 bucks for a car like this, but when he said 1500 I asked to see it. I stopped after work Friday and looked it over. I got it bought for 1400. I think it was a pretty solid deal? Even though I am not ready to start another project yet, cars like this are hard to find here for that kind of money. So you have to buy them when you find them. The plan is to build a daily driver out of it that I can take anywhere and haul my kids.

It has the computer controlled 3.8 engine unfortunately, but runs really well. It has 70000 miles on the car. It has been well maintained. The only real thing that is bad is the bottom of the door are rusty and the outer door skin on the front passenger door is thin. The frame and the rest of the car is mint. It even came with a trunk full of neat stuff.

Getting the car home on the other hand was eventful. I showed up yesterday with the truck and trailer to haul it home. When I went to jack the tilt bed trailer up the tong of the trailer dropped to the ground. It broke at the hinge point. So ratchet strapped it together. I took the truck and trailer to my work and left it. The guy give me a ride back to his house. So ended up driving the car home. It is no speed demon, but drivers pretty good. Later I dug out a set of GTA wheels I have and put those on the car. Looks much better now. Sorry no pictures of that yet. I might switch insurance from my GS to this car and drive it the rest of the summer the way it is? Kind of a fun car. Now I am heading to work to see if I can fix my trailer? What do you guys think of my new ride?

Nice score. Of course Silly Sleeper needs to be one. But that's nothing that a Wutang war whistle won't solve. I have to say that I'm diabolically opposed to A/C, but that thing with a stock hood, stock tire size and 500whp would be nice with A/C.

Clean inside, that seems to be getting hard to come by.
