Well I bought it thinking that it ran like $%^#, and I was actually impressed with it. My step son will get it in about 6 months and that depends on his grades and his job. He is going to be paying his own insurance. Or no keys to car. It does float a little, needs struts, and steering has alot of play. Just minor things, but safe to drive.

The plus thing is, if he wrecks, I wont be that worried. They hold up well, well at least the pictures that I have seen and the circumstances. Secondly, I will have a parts car, of whats left over.

There is another here locally, Black on Black. Dont know of year or mileage. Tried buying it, but the owner never called me back. The interior looks very good. Its been sitting in his restaraunt parking lot for over 2 years. Tires are flat. I can ask him again about it if anybody is possibly interested.

Repalced the brake booster and the rough idle yesterday. It was a loose ignition coil wire going to the distrubuter. Ran it had only 3 cylinders and sputtered. Smooth as silk now. My stepson drove it yesterday for the first time. The smile on his face was worth all the time and effort to me. I would have gave my left nut back then to get a car like this when I was 16.
