Posted by: VegasRacer Jul 15 2003, 05:41 PM

I found a 6 conversion that I am considering buying.
I have received a bunch of photos and exchanged several e-mail with the seller.
I need some one in the Seattle area to go and have a look at it
and give me your opinion if it is worth my effort to fly up to see myself.

Send me an e-mail at goflyakite@pclv if you have the time to check it out.

Somebody help him out....

He gave away about 200 free license plates... the LEAST we could do is a PPI for him.

I am still waiting for the guy to call me back sad.gif

Vegas, if you havent already, talk to Greg Fordahl about it. I think I gave you his number previously, but I bet he has some insight he would share

I've been calling the wrong guy sad.gif I just talked with the real "Steve" and he said I could come by tommorow around 5 or 6. If Geoff goes, let me know if you still need me to go. I will do it if yo want a second opinion, but I feel Geoff probably knows more than I do. Anyways, let me know.

Always carry one in the car and truck. Plus a magnet for bondo or fiberglass on the longs, rockers.

If you want I can bring the digital camera.

Geoff - Thanks for the inspection report. It was great to have independent confirmation of some to the +'s and -'s I had from the photos and e-mails with the seller.

Chris - Thanks for your offer to help.

Rhodyguy - I don't think the car has been for sale that long? It was orange with a 2.7 and from California. The guy just had a baby daughter so that is why he is selling.

Everybody else - The search goes on. This one will not be tearing up the streets of Vegas. Please let me know if you have or hear of a nice 3.2 for sale.

The good - The motor and trans were great. Fresh paint.

The bad - It is really more of a Driver Ed car. While far from being a race car,
it lacked most of the 'comfort' items I would want in a street car.

The ugly - The dash sucked. Rust repair could have been done bettter.
