    Very nice, congrats! We have to get more info (and pics)...what engine, trans, what color interior, miles, rust, options, etc. What are your plans for her? Besides the front clip needing some paint (they always fade differently than the body), it looks to be in great shape. I love the color btw.

    Have fun!
    Cheers!

    OK....here are the vitals:
    GS trim
    3.8 Auto
    PL....AC....premium sound with extra knob for amp boost..am/fm cassette.
    Blue interior in really good shape exept headliner and dash pad wiped out by the sun.
    87000 actual miles.
    Only rust is a bit starting on bottom of drivers door seam...the rest is clean...and i mean clean. Underside not a spec, even on seams...so Ive got that going for me...which is nice.
    Got dinged on passenger side....not bad...but would like to find a straight fender. Think Ive located NOS front bumper cover.
