well the girl who had it had her husband put a real nice paint job on it and the interior is a little dirty but will clean up easlly i may need to wet sand it to get the nic`s out but they parked it when it started smoken bad (i hope just valve seals) but you never know. but yeah it wasin great shape,but she wanted $2500 for it but cashs talked and she needed it. i didn`t want to take advange of her but it was all the extra cash i had and i had to try and she took it but if i sell it and make money off it i may send her some extra on it so i can sleep

went over the car t-tops are leaking not bad but need to replace seal where can i find new one and how much? i also found small amount of bondo in pass. side front fender no big deal, seats will need recovering normal wear. now for the motor has some bad valves and seals my just rework heads or just buy crate motor and sorry it was a mis print on my part the car is a 1990 model. so do you think it`s a good deal for a grand!!
