Title: Guess What I Found!
Post by: Billyisgr8 on September 11, 2004, 08:43:38 AM

I'll let you guys drool until I get my digital camera back out there to take some pictures.

Chassis # is 159903.

Yahoo, and I have only been up here for 3 months.  This is funny since Martin and I just went out looking last Saturday for cars  1hour  away, and this one is right here close by.

I am going to see it again today, The owner said best offer, and he doesn't seem to notice the real value since he was talking like $500.00.

It is actually earlier than I thought, the posted # was by memory

It is actually 159663...Wohoo.
Crap the pictures I took was on the wrong setting.  Each picture is 1.3 meg.  Just waiting for a return phone call now since the owner was not there today yet.

Now if that don't make you want to cry I don't know what will.  By the picture I'm guessing it's sitting beside the Subway in the self storage right ???

lmao.

well. it seems the owner indeed does not know what it's worth. he's thinking $500. that thing isnt worth anything over $200. :P

that # is actually the body #. not the vin #. the vin # will be on that metal tag right above the body  #.

it looks to be an oval by the shape of the gas tank and the look of the front clip.
