Hey, your good
Guessed it

I got 5Z plates


Lets see
Been taking pics of undercarriage

It's not the muffler that was hitting its the I think cat converter
center cannister
when the car front is down the hill it seems at a midpoint the belly of the car touches undtil the rear wheel can lift it
the driveway is bowed concave if you get the drift

It does happen with low clearance cars

I see good big sway bars least on rear in back
looks like a 12 bolt diff
lots of cobwebs under there
but its clear of rust on the body
some on springs & such & muffler pipes
well thats disposable

I got a nice AAA
she seemed to not be worried
but she did have me put my name on the pink slip next to the charity
& on the bill of sale transfer
She sort of connected the gap
She could see it went to the charity wo bennifit of registration
thats sort of a dealer
& then was sold to a privateparty myself as the title purchase whatever was never put in his name
left blank.

I guess it might not go so well if you took it out of state?
He was there just in case of a problem
but he didn't think there would be any

Actually it worked out quite well
I took a bus to his house
We went to AAA in his car
& then back to his house to pay for the car.
He let me register it wo benefit of him having his money

I would think that was very special of him
he must have trusted me
or I guess he figured w my size
I'd never wrestle the car from him & run with it
LOL

Still he went out of his way to sell me the car
but perhaps he liked that I was local...

Who knows

I don't think he has any morepaper work though
he may but the way he is
he might have just said that before
I caught him when he showed me the title

I don't apprecaite the story
but in a way its a one owner car least 20 years.

I don;t have the sheepskin seat covers he said it came with
Who knows what condi they are in
but he said he's get them for me
they are in his shop...

I saw the pink slip
it had a vanity plate
I won't make publlic as they still live in agoura hills as per the other bill of sale.

I found a mans name on a bill for the alarm in 87
he was a DR so this must have been his wifes car.

I would suppose a Drs wife woudl at least try to take care of the car
& it wasn;t abused.

So maybe I did get lucky?
Its l;oaded & the electrical & AC works

Gosh your up a creek wo a panel if some of them fail
You can't even get the gas tank lid open,,,,
& thats important on a car like this

I need to get gas
its on the last line
not R
but today I was hot & I just wanted to get it safe in the garage

I did fear if the battery wasn't up to charge
that shutting it down to get gas & not being able to start it again
would not be a good thing to chance

Gosh there are really no bumpers
You get hi its really right at the car
Don't want to run into anything
all those goodies in front will get messed.

I will have to get the license plate bracket
He said pep boys have
but don;t know if he understands
Anyway it would see the lisence would have to be drilled w holes more on outside as they are not lining up
but perhaps the bracket will fix that

There were a few screws in glove compt
hopefull one fits the rear holes
as there is only one screw back there
Guess thats the leastof my worries
