MarkM,

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent write up and description on this car. I had seen it on *bay, was not considering it, just watching it for a “value check”. Your detailed write up really closes the story on this one. Not something that happens very often.

Happy Holidays,

Clay

PS: Up above $2K now. I hope the bidders know what they are getting into. If they have to add a few hundred to get it shipped they may be upset with Santa when it arrives. Who knows, it may be just the car they are looking for.

I believe each of these cars are the final production year for that model.

There's one of these in a Portland used car lot for $1250 and it looks like it's in better shape than this one based on the description. Over a month has gone by and it's still in the lot.
