Yep! It was a hell of a deal..

Saw it posted in this thread Saturday, and left my house 4am Sunday to head to SF.

As soon as I heard it run, and saw the condition of all the parts, it was a must.

Ill be bringing everything home Thursday...you guys wouldnt believe all the goodies...needless to say, the parts shopping has ended for my red car


P.s. We are looking for a third member of a race team. If in central Cali and interested, let me know

If only i could find awsomeness like that around my neck of the woods... the last 1st I tried to pick up as a parts car from western new york had rats living in it for close to 5 years... all but one rims where oem but where bent... the engine had no fluids in it cause well they decided to free themselves from the confinement of the engine... ohh!!! and before i forget the muffler was still on but the rest of the exhaust was missing... every last piece of the exhuast had rotted away lol

What part of California? There are quite a few in the l.a. area for fairly cheap. I almost bought a clean black one last weekend. There is a white one with a body kit for sale in Inglewood.

The le needs an interior and the clear coat is gone in large spots, but all it needs is a fuel pump to run. (Squirted gas in the carb and it started right up) Its actually a really clean car, but its fate is currently undecided.. At the very least..every desirable part/body panel will be harvested, and the wheels given the high-polish treatment haha
