Update: got the car for 1000.00, will pick it up next week! My five year old son, Enzo, is delighted to have a project car, too.

I ordered the center muffler it needs, some rolls of vacuum line and fittings, and a new oil pan gasket and fasteners. Also have a new main fuel filter and oxygen sensor coming.

Thanks everyone, for your input. I'm sure I'll 'see' you around! Now to find a thread about synthetic vs regular oil. I'm sure there is one!
