Car still sitting on lot, begging for new home

Back | Home | Next
After seeing this car on the service lot for over three months, I decided to investigate further. Upon closer inspection, the interior looked shot, a four speed manual (was hoping it was 5 speed close ratio) clicked nicely into gears and the clutch pedal maintains hydraulic pressure and linkage, but body showing a wee bit too much rust for my taste.

FINDING:Car has been sitting around in mechanic's lot for the last two years. Customer drove car into shop, asked for this and that to be repaired, but never completed business transaction. Shop owner secured Texas title for car, got title cleared, and was more than ready to turn it over to someone like me to come around and make offer.

Earliest service record on hand shows Austin female owner in 1988 @ 88k miles. She transferred ownership in 1990 and then subsequent owner transferred ownership in 1996 to a third Austinite. Last service record dates back to 1998 @ 166k miles.
