    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    I was talking to the owner of that one. Needs a radiator, trunk lid, rear panel, and top - those pieces are completely gone, as in not there, not just damaged. The car has the limited slip rear, working A/C, new timing belt and water pump, good tires, and the owner is a mechanic. The thing that scared me off is that it has been repainted, from red to black, and the quality of the paint job would have had to improve to meet Earl Scheib standards from what he said. The paint is the only thing that kept me from driving out and looking at it tonight, otherwise I would have a project, and then the wife would have a daily driver with better mileage than her cherokee.

    That said, It probably wasn't jambed.
    You may could paint it back red and have it look good.
    If I wasn't on my way out of town, I'd be looking at it.
    I also would need shelves for Miata's.
