    Well, I started out wanting a comet. How could I go wrong for $130?
    And it's fate anyway, I've wanted to go see the first operational civilian spaceport in the world since they got licensed, let alone Rutan winning the x prize from there. Want to see the place in it's infancy, let the kids say "yeah, we were there in 2005" 20 years from now when tourists are launching from there every day. And that's Mojave CA, so now I have an excuse to go, and 30 days to do it. Can anyone tell me which motor that is by looking at it?

    Well that ain't no '73. Look at the bumpers.

    Looks like a good deal though. (y)

    no 73

    Yeah, I knew it's not a '73. Getting answers from the guy was like pulling teeth, I'd ask three, get the answer to one. So haven't seen the vin or door codes, hence the motor question. Does say the interior is complete. Condition? I'll find out when I get there. I can see it's an AC car missing it's compressor. He did give me a satisfaction guarantee, if I go to pick it up and don't like it, money back with no negative feedback. Delivered, it's yours no matter what.

    Hey Don.

    I noticed how close that car was for you. Nice. Wanted to know if you were leaving the 200 to combat the gas prices or doing the v8 conversion?

    That much easier to convert it if I decide to.

    The front fenders, alone, are worth $130. That means you are out 25 cents... (y)
