I was browsing the local Marketplace on fakebook, and this caught my eye. It was 20 minutes away, and the right color. I figured it couldn't be as nice as it looked..........wrong.
It was purchased in 1999 by a guy around 70 years-old. He passed-on in the last year, leaving the car to his grand-daughter. She HATES convertibles, and it hardly got moved from the garage. I bought it on Monday, after 2 prior trips to look at it, then drive it. It's an absolute blast to drive. I'm going to replace all the fluids, filters, and rubber parts on the engine. Can't trust 22 year-old rubber parts....especially that timing-belt.
