The paint on the car is quite faded, but it certainly runs and drives and is a good starting point.

Looks like I may pick the car up... I won't even mention the price named last night as it would cause fits of uncontrollable jealousy. Let's just say Bouncer saying "start at 10K and go from there" would mean "go down" in this case... quite a bit down, actually, and that was the seller's stated starting point!

Then again, it may look completely different in the daylight. I went over last night about 6:30pm and checked the car over VERY well with my surefire (aka, super-duper-bright flashlight.) I knew where to look and absolutely nothing jumped out that screamed "run away!"

My plans would be to dump the slot mags for rallys or cheapie TTII's, clean up the engine compartment, get the A/C working, change the carpets and spin the thing... but a little voice in my head is telling me to keep it.
