I didn’t buy it yet but did look at it, couldn’t wait until tomorrow when I go with my mechanic!

It’s a beautiful car and I won’t do the changeover if I buy it, I’ll just learn to drive a stick. 400 engine V8, sounded awesome. The trunk has a bad leak, though — when he showed me the trunk mat and lifted it, it was filled with water. He says it’s just the rubber seal around the top of the trunk but my mechanic will know if that’s the truth, but there is no where else for water to get in.

A few paint bubbles but no rust that I could see. My mechanic will check all the welds.

Canary yellow engine — why can’t I ever buy a car that’s a color I like????

The interior looked good but I forgot to check the radio. I’d put in a Secret Audio anyway. Need to check all the other dials and stuff and I’ll bring my camera which I’m recharging right now.

So, yeah, I’m psyched big time. If my mechanic says it’s ok and we agree on price, I could have it as soon as Saturday. I do have a garage space rented that I can use for it, but it would need some minor work of course before I could drive it, and there is the learning how to drive a stick part which I’m not looking forward to.

So, please keep your fingers crossed for me!!
