83 GSL, should I buy it?
supposedy its got a rebuilt engine, and just sitting in this guys yard...at the moment, my engine is blown(2nd gen), so it would be a way of transportation, though I really dont like how the 1st gens look, and would probably end up not driving it anyway, I dunno...its only $250 though, worth it?

I'd grab it and I prefer 1st gens to 2nd gens, but 3rd gens to 1st gens. heh, sorry had to go bit off topic there.
