Or not.
In short, buy the one that'll rev your engine in thinking about and wanting to work on it. However old it is, expect to re-wire it first. OEM harnesses.

If I have to rewire anything it's not worth buying.
I'm not looking to buy another 30 year old daily. The Miata is barely 15 years old... which I like right now. Perhaps less time for stuff to degrade/break.
Plus, although what others think is low on my priority list, most females don't seem to understand the old car thing. So, in that regard, the newer, the better. Certainly the Probe was not popular with the wimmins...
I emailed the lady to remind her I am waiting for pictures but haven't heard back. Guess I'll call today. Seriously, if you're selling a car with no wheels you'd think you'd be a little more vigilant about responding.
