Yes. It came up for sale from the guy who bought it from the dealer I sold it to.Did you buy it back?
I can't tell if you're being serious.This seems like a reasonable DD.

Sweet. Hopefully there's some equity for you if those guys did some work on the car. To quote a departed friend and consummate car salesman/buyer, "there's no better money spent on a car than the previous owner's."
I still think you should have bought the checker limo.
eh. I paid roughly $1800 more for it than I sold it for, and it's a driver now. It needs shocks all around as well as bushings and some other maintenance done but I'm just glad to have it back.
Well, if it would've cost you more than $1800 to pay a shop to do the work that the POs did, then you are ahead of the game.
I wonder if the primer spots could be spot painted blended into the original paint without resorting to respraying whole panels. Maybe some modern single stage urethane and a helpful paint supply shop could do the trick?
In any case, enjoy it.
I'm at least gonna try and blend it with a spray can from VP to make it all the same color. I have a few friends who are pretty good at blending and if the money comes up, I may just have them blend it down the road.
Frankly, I agree. Plop a 6 liter LS in it and have the longest drift missle known to man.

These old paints are incredibly forgiving when it comes to blending, etc... If you end up doing it yourself, wetsand the entire panel (primer and OEM paint) with 2000 grit. Then spray (at least 3-4 coats, working your way into the factory paint), then wetsand again with 2500 grit and then buff the whole with any old dual orbital buffer and mid-grit compound from 3M. The whole thing will take time (5-6 hours, easily) but you should be able to fool most people.
A nicely hot b20 can be really fun, and sound great. But it?s never going to make a reliable 200 hp without a ton of work.
The question is, can I get 130whp that's actually usable around town for less than $3k.
