carefully inspect for wire damage from rats.

the 123 coupes are awesome.
Yes, it could be a ton of work including drivetrain. The trans oil was super clean with no smell. The engine appeared normal. Definitely no visible wire damage.

The price I got it for, I'm minimal risk in to it. Could obviously cost a ton to refurb, but it doesn't need any cosmetic refurb, which is the part I would have to pay someone to do.

There had to be a mechanical reason why it was parked. Hoping it is simply the starter solenoid or a fuse/relay. We'll find out. I'll post progress.
