Already called, and plan on putting a deposit down. We have loosely discussed all the details. Just trying to save some you other guys the frustration of calling. If for any reason I pass this up... which isnt likely, I will post all the details here.

Thanks
Hans

Good, you are really pretty close location wise.

S4ordie

That is a steal.

James Bailey

You think so ? Aero mirrors/wheels/ 5 spd ??

New leading candidate for "save of the year"?

Saw that one a few days ago. Wondered if someone would save it!

Hopefully. I explained to the guy that it would go to a good home, at that I was both willing to give him a deposit via paypal or have a friend in the area take cash. I hope to take a look at it tomorrow evening or over the weekend.

He is supposed to get me the VIN number tonight so I can confirm what it actually is, and he is going to snap some pictures for me. It has been parked for going on two years, and that is an old picture... so hoping it looks similar, but not likely going to be as pretty as that picture suggests.

I will keep you guys updated on the progress. Depending on whats wrong with it, it may not be to late to get this up and running for SITM. From what the seller was saying, sounds an awful lot like an LH failure to me, and I happen to have a spare.

Fingers crossed,
Hans

Sure hope it looks remotely anywhere near that picture.

Let me know what time you'll be in the area if you want to get a beer later, I'm busy until tomorrow until 8:30 but will be in the north end of Columbus at that time. Friday is also OK but the weekend is MidOhio.

I was assuming a rod out the side of the engine or a timing belt event......but just not running ?????

Imo000

That is a good deal. Hans should start a poll........I'm going for the failed/siezed WP and a brokent TB.

Damn, I would have bought that one in a quinstant (three times faster than an instant). You probably saved me a divorce

Wow, cat-like reactions Hans. That's a no lose situation. Congrats!!!
