Well I let it go last year, because the man was up to his ears in legal stuff (pot patch and bear feeding) A month ago I called him & he told me that he had sent the car to a wrecker, but did not know which one. Today we started driving around to wreckers looking for the car, we found it. Now for the bad stuff, the wrecker loaned it to a charity, who sold for a $ or 2 the privilege of whacking the car with a sledge hammer. There is no glass anywhere, the radio is gone, and the body is pretty beat up. Under the hood looks ok, seats not bad, I can get the parts I need pretty reasonably, and have about 1 month before they crush it. I understand the engine/trans is good it has the same style wheels (cannot remember the name) that Nate got painted a few years back. they look good, bumpers were beaten off the car. If any one needs some bits, shoot me a note, I want the cruise mod, the window crank the antenna if it matches, the water pump and other odments.
