FB's are like amusment parks, you pay to get in, and it keeps sucking money out of your pocket. But it's fun so it doesn't matter.

Nice find. I paid $200 for one with a blown motor. Of course, it did come with ~$650 worth of wheels and tired. Plus it has a full RB exhaust on it.

In 1994 i bought a 84 gsl for $400 from someone who thought it needed thousands of dollars in trans & clutch work. They were laughing because i paid $400

went home, put clutch fluid in it, bled it, and drove it back the next day. Guess who was and wasn't smiling.

Nope! The 85 has the roof, and 83 has the new tires. But My wife (who has never been to happy about my FB desire) has taken it upon her self this Crackhead ( Yeah Crackhead is the word to use right here) CrackHead idea that she getting the 85? I don't know where she got that one from? I told her ( in the words of Smokie in the movie Friday) You Didn't put in on this! MANNNN!!!!!!! So now she's not to happy with me! I figure we've been married for 15 years??? SHE'LL GET OVER IT!!
