That's the plan. It's DD capable, just needs a couple simple fixes that would take an afternoon. It's clean inside and out, and has A/C.

Sunday if I'm lucky. My other half booked us solid this weekend, so getting to San Antonio is going to be tough

well I don't own it quite yet. The suspense is killing me as well, the guy hasn't called me back yet so we can set up a pick up time. I offered a deposit and everything. we shall see. If not, I'll keep saving for another one, but this deal seems like its a good one.

Dude just called me back, he's had food poisoning apparently. Anyway, here's what he's got:







About a year ago, he was changing the water pump and broke a bolt off. It's been sitting ever since. Other than that, it needs a speedo cable and the window motors are bad he says.

The A/C works, has cam, long tubes, and 4.10s. Also a 5 spd car. Newer paint, garage kept. I've got a nice pair of grey tweed seats to swap in and I'm going to put wheels on similar to what @TOOLOW91 has. Should be a very, very nice car and I'm going to drive the $hit out of it. Not a bad deal for $3500, huh?

***Edit - after I posted, I noticed the ash tray door closes. That'll make be first fox with this feature. HAH!

*Depending heavily on the fact that the car was as described. We all know now that it was NOT the case.
