My New FD for $2,500
Hell I just went out and stopped by this ladies house that I saw with an FD sitting out front so I cruised in with my FC and asked her about it. She says it wont start and she sold it to me for $2,500. 
I towed it home changed out the plugs, did a compression test good compression, charged the battery, flushed the radiator, changed the oil, put auto tranny fluid in her, drained the old gasoline and put in '93 octane Exxon fuel and cranked the motor around a few times by hand since it was sitting for 3 years, hit the ignition with a few sputters a few popps and 3 minutes of her bitching and one wollop of a Bang out the back she roared to life
.
Swaped on my tags from my FC and took her for a spin around the neighbourhood. She layed some smoke for the convoy but after a few minutes then cleared up. I am putting insurance on her tomorrow and getting a tag for her. I bought myself what I thought was a blow up, fixer upper FD and to my surprise she runs strong.
The lady says she has a weird transmission, she says it is a Cosmo Auto Tranny is this BS or not or is she misinformed?
Oh well I bought it for $2,500 so the hell if I am complaining about my FD for $2,500 becouse it is an Auto. Once in a lifetime deal no one would pass it up.
Pics comming tomorrow stay tuned. she will be abit dirty so look at her potential.

One question though, since this is my first Turbo car and FD for that matter it doesn't have a boost guage. Is that normal? Do I need to purchase a boost guage for it? It seems to run excellent so what is the FD owners expert advice and it is totaly stock. When you see the pics you will know what I mean. Any advice for a new FD owner please.

This may be the deal of the century!
As promised, post some pics and give us a few more details. What condition is the body, paint, and interior in? Did she give you a good, signed title?
