"How do those head lights work, they point up in the sky?"

Yes - Someone actually asked me that.

When I bought mine out of a barn where it sat 25 years I was told "the timing belt and water pump are brand new" I said yes, in 1992 they were new.

Too easy, but here goes: "No low ballers. I know what I've got."

How much you want for it?
Ill take ten grand !
Humm well its got a terrific moldy interior smell thats pretty much trashed ,
the carpets are faded.
the seats are junk.
the dash and pod look like a desert riverbed,
Under the hood the head gaskets need to be replaced,
the AC compressor is gone but the adjusting bracket is bent back to the cross member, musta hit a low curb?
The tires are 14 years old,
the master cylinder is a fossilized rusty rod,
The paint looks good except it has all of these crazing scratches in it everywhere.
and its a US 1983 5 speed and it runs.


I will give you 1500.00 ...........
On second thought no I wont give you anything that car is 20 thousand away from a 10 thousand dollar car.
