Well...... dont know if I bit a rotten bullet or stole something. He was asking 800 before TTT and was selling it as a parts car cause of a rod knock. I paid 650 prior to TTT. Since it was at a car lot I was able to split the payment into two payments. Yep.... Im cash poor, heck.. I'm everything poor!!!

More detail

. Color.... silver? its like a light blue but yet a silver. Hard to describe. Appears original and just needs oxidatoin removed and a shineing.
. Rust..... what rust. none... zilch... sweet... ok ok. one spot where paint is cracked around the pinky dent in the rear fender.
. dent..... Front fender near driver door and looks like it will pull out easy. Lot of it should come out with a suction cup type dent remover. Small pinky tip sized dent "outward" in rear fender. Something in the trunk caused it.
. Interior... needs a driver door opener handle and chrome surround piece. Might need some internal parts to open the door too. Rear Passenger Door handle needs a little help, Upposltry looks AWSOME. Does not even need a cleaning. Just a vacume, yet you could tell the little car lot had not cleaned it out. Dash has no cracks. Trim strip on the Glovebox needs reglueing. Lot owner, (young man actually) had been driving it around till the nailing started. Local hacks up the road at the tire change place are the one who said it sounded like a rod knocking.
. The opaque? plastic around the headlamps is all splintered up from sun. Driver front Amber fog light? needs replacing (lens broke).
. 188,000 miles
. it smokes white
. It sounds like a nailing to me. Nailing is only when RPM's are up.
. exhaust leak near front but it appears to be pipe not manifold related.
. old oil and muck around block ... but all the way around like V. cover gasket leak. Another words not greatly maintained but ok.
. Rubber parts of linkage looks good.
. No oil in antifreeze
. No water in oil
. lower oil cooler hose should be replaced. Both I guess.
. Alda is unaldterd with cap still on it
. Air filter looks good
. Not excessive oil in air cleaner.
. antena motor works
. Automatic
. prefilter is pretty black but OEM style. Has not been changed in a while I'm guessing.
. does not blow cold air
. Sunroof does not retract
