I saw this today, and emailed the guy. He called me an hour later and I went to look at the car. Turns out, it's the same car I looked at in a horse pasture 6 months ago. That guy wanted $1000.00! I rand away fast! The new "owner" says he poured gas in the intake and it ran till the gas was gone. I don't think so! When I saw it in the pasture, it had big rats living in the engine, and lots of rust spots all over the body. The body has been rattle canned all over. I tried to open the throttle(no air cleaner). It wouldn't budge. He had removed the engine cover release handle so you couldn't open it( it was there six months ago), but I always carry my trusty Gerber multi tool. The battery tray was rusted to the point that I could stick my fist through the bottom of the car and out the side. From the amount of rust on the cables I would say no battery has been connected in several years! The rear half of the rear trunk floor was FIBERGLASS!!!! There were virtually no usable parts on the car.

I guess my point is: The pics did not do this car "justice" and I have to wonder how many other ebay ads are just as bad, even though the pics look great? Some times you don't get what you pay for!

I hope none of you are the one who has bid on this POS.

BTW, "safety inspections" were eliminated here a few years ago!
