According to his camera, those pictures are 3 1/2 years old. I'd be VERY skeptical. Take an ice pick or screwdriver and really probe under the longs at the jack points, the hell hole, rear trunk in front of the tail lights, and under the carpet near the firewall.

QUOTE(Grelber @ Jul 20 2007, 09:35 AM)  According to his camera, those pictures are 3 1/2 years old. I'd be VERY skeptical. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Be very thorough in your search for rust. If the seller freaks out when you start poking with the ice pick, you should probably just go home and look for another car. Also try to figure out who painted the car and when. Yellow exterior, orange in the engine bay, and black in the front trunk/gas tank area is very suspicious. The single carb is also suspect - ask the seller if the cam was changed. You can search this forum for the cornucopia of information about why the single carb and factory cam are bad combination. |
