hello everyone. my name is keith, and i just accquired an 89 convertible. how i got it was pretty cool. i was at a job in an affluent part of my area. and when i walked around the back of the property, there it was. just sitting under a car port. filthy as hell. she had been sitting over 2 years (as i later found out) the owner of the house i was at wife had died a couple of years ago. he was so distraught that he left the state and went to california. he let his house fall into foreclosure. so while i was there, and after looking at the car, i called the real estate agent and inquired about the car. she told me that if i wanted the car that i could have it. she was just going to find 1 of those junk removal places and have them remove it. jackpot. kinda. i didnt have a key, or a title, the owner in california refused to help. he was reluctant to even let the car go, but he really had no choice since he left the state. so, i had the car towed. put a lien on the car, waited what seemed like an eternity. and 2 months later, MINE. for FREE. she has 109k on her, been resprayed in blaze red. well after 2 years of sitting, i was extremely anxious to find out if she ran. so, i put a new battery in her, some gas, cranked her up. and blammo, she starts right up. theres some problems. couple of rips in the top. radio doesnt work (its lights work, but doesnt work) antenna is busted. seats are worn. it pulls to the right real hard and there is a loud low growl coming from the front right of the suspension. and the voltage is a little low(around 12.5-13) and the exhaust smells really rich, like, really rich. other than that, it was FREE.
