I found this gem on Craigslist on a trip down to North Carolina back in the early fall. I was heading down for a wedding and decided to browse CL to see if anything interesting popped up. It was listed for $2,100 and looked to be in nice shape. Talking to the owner, he bought it thinking it would be a good project car for him but he got in over his head swapping the (dead) engine out of it.





I got him down to $2k even and towed it home. It's actually a really nice car. It's got 140k on the clock and has absolutely zero rust anywhere. Perfect project car. It came with a bunch of speed parts, which I promptly sold and recouped the purchase price of the car.
