used Neon for $3,500 and it's over in 10 minutes. Used 944 worth half that and it's a federal investigation.

I KNO RITE??

Karl, just buy the damn thing already. You are like a virgin on prom night, stalling on your way to the after party because you're nervous and won't know what to do when you get her shirt off.

Just buy the car. Trust me, you'll own many more.

So I had a nice fellow from Pelican Parts and Rennlist come and check out the car for me. The car is in very good shape and at a great price for what it is. There were some things wrong with it; including a minor oil leak from the cam tower gasket and worn out shocks, but other than that, the car's all good!

It'll be this week or next week in which I hopefully pay the owner and bring her home!
Snapped some more pics too:





I can't believe this is finally happening!! Soo Excited!

Looks clean, congrats. I think you'll enjoy the raw feel of an early car as your first; I know I did.

i think if we ask the mods nicely,

we can get these 2 threads combined and end up with the giganticest newbie thread ever.

Why do I get the feeling that if he had actually bought the car, there would have been a couple threads every day from him....

I'm going to have to agree with you on this one.. both threads are what, 55 pages total, and no confirmation he's bought one yet?

Odu's gonna have to lose that last ball, because I'm still buying that '84, it's just taking a bit longer is all. Personal and college matters and work have kept me busy. I'm almost done paying it off, and when I do, I'll let you all know.

I accept your bet. I'll be owning that car soon, just you watch. The owner had to move those things over by the car because he was processing deer at the time of the photo(last week), everything is away from it now and she's safe and happy.

Welp, this is it everyone! I've secured the final funds to get the '84! I'm bringing her home either today, or Saturday; I really hope it's today!!
