thank you very much everyone for the fast posts, i failed to mention all of this happened in the pitch black ohio dark, so i wasnt able to check springs, and was honestly a little shaken up and didnt think of it, but i do recall hitting the accelerator when i got back in it while it was running,awkward to get into after owning only a 126. and that is right before it started free revving, so you may be right! im gonna have a look today though, very impressive car, needs alotta sheet metal, but i think its worth it, only has 100 k on th clock! im just hoping to god its something simple
