I saw it for sale locally, dirt cheap. I was thinking about buying it. It's a 2 owner car, the lady who owns it now knew the original owner. It ran up until a few years ago, they quit driving it because the clutch was going out and it needed new tie rods.

I'm still trying to decide if it's a good idea and a worthwhile adventure. The only problem is the $$ that will go into it. It's rusty on the drivers side, needs tires. They claim it ran fine before being parked. It's a 1.5 L with a 5 speed. These cars can get 40 MPG stock. But as I said, I would want to swap in a modern fuel injected motor and restore it.

Decisions....
