For yall in the Atlanta area. Skip Barber closed shop so there are tons of equipment, trucks, and sports cars for sale for cheap.

I kinda want to pick up a tube chassis and do something crazy with it, but I don't have the dough or the time.

Dunno I caught a face book page on my local car meet forum. I'll try to dig it up.

It was only the school that went into bankruptcy and I don't think he owned it anymore anyway.

Oops posted the same link Michael did.

Republicans believe in Bankruptcy (just ask Trump, he's an expert).

Democrats believe in Freedom.

Set my Chickens Free.


Updates on the Panasports coming soon.

They are looking Real Pretty.

I just saw a link someone posted on FB to a for sale ad. And I can't seem to find the link anymore.

I don't know who filed chapter 11 or what, but if it means cheap tools and cars hells yeah!

Kinda too far away from me to really make it worth my while, but I don't know.

If yall local ATL guys happen to swing by and ask it might be worth your while.

Here's a decent looking first gen in Gainesville that's priced right.

Ah, I missed the title thing. Prior to that, I contemplated emailing the guy. How cool would it be to own all 3 generations. We just don't have the room though.

Would make an amazing parts car.

Is that a factory A/C system? I thought all the 12A's got the sanden dealer abortion installed.

It doesn't look like the sloppy dealer AC my 85 GS had.

my 85 is still completely original and the R12 is too. Still blows ice cubes but I only turn it on periodically to keep it vital.

I know, the dealer AC is installed with self taping sheet metal screws. How lazy is that?!

I kinda like the clean installed factory units, but I'm the kind of guy who closes the hood and leaves the mess under there. The dealer unit works so I don't bother it. I might swap out for a factory compressor one day.
