Well if she was down here in central Illinois, I would definitely go have a look. It'll be interesting to see what the top bid is...

I'll pitch in $100 if you promise to part it out and send the rest to the crusher!

I'll give $11 for the brushguard. It'd look sick on my pal's NSX.

You could easily do the Bosozuka style with that car, if you took off the brush guard thingy. That would look sweet. Just add an external oil cooler, and 14" wheels with a 10" lip.

There's the starting problem right there... no oil filter! haha
Oh man I hope they didn't try to start it without that...

isn't that bad for the engine to have it stored like that?
