Was this one in Iowa or somewhere like that? I emailed this guy an offer on it and heard nothing until I bought another car and then got a reply, f@#k. Iirc it has a fuel cell etc. Good find and good luck with the build.

I was gonna pick this up, did the negotiation for my friend who was supposed to buy it. I left for Mexico for a couple weeks and he never picked it up. Good car, needs lots of parts but a good start! Funny thing is i emailed him last week asking if he still had it, but was mostly interested in the Rx4/5 he said he had in the barn. Could you ask him if he still does have it?
Also PM how much you got it for

nope it was not running, nor did it look like you could start it up with ease. It was sitting for a couple years back then so add 2-3 more years. Hopefully he didnt spike up the price lol
