Guess What I Found!

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.

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.
