| Additional Features | That musty stank, of an old car forgotten. Big rusty puddles draining on my driveway. |
| Am giving this one back to the previous owner, as he seems to want me to just finish it for him! Got some sort of amnesia and had second thoughts about giving it up... Now it will return to its previous unloved state of rust and decomposition... I actually expected it!!! I never get anything with out pulling teeth and taking out a second mortgage!! I'll remove the listing as soon as it leaves my yard... I may go through the motor for him as a favor(don't know why!)and I know he'll never get around to it. At least it'll be ready for who-ever has the whatever to assemble the car... for him. | |
