    Very few, if any, options on this car, it seems. What say y'all?

    Looks like a stolen recovery.

      Yeah. Interesting. The inspection sticker on the windshield looks like it expired in 2012.

            I would, but the non-running part is telling me no. I've told me wife that the reason I want one is for a daily driver to give the Cobra a rest. Buying a non-running car kind of defeats the purpose.

            It might be worth at least taking a look at it, though. Pretty sure we'll be in Dallas with the in-laws this weekend.

              Can't lose much for $400. You would be saving it from the demo derby. Looks decent. Basic CV. I don't like the " B" pillar trim broken off on the seat. Zip ties on the column ? Starting issue could be as simple as a bad module. It now has the radio delete option. I would check it out fast before the derby people do.

                get the car... stop in at the pick-n-pull and snag an explorer long block... swap... go. In about $800 and 12 hours and a case of beer.

                  It's never that simple haha. Sounds good but the execution has all these little things that eat up tons of time.

                  Anywho, I like the color. It does have a few options, the bumper strips and passenger side mirror. Betting it has A/C too.

                    I bet the fuel system is trashed if it wasn't drained. That's what happened to my 90 - it sat for roughly 8 years. But a new tank, pump, and filter fixed it. Injectors and lines were okay after draining.

                      For 400 bucks, if it costs you twice that much to get it serviceable, it's still not a bad deal. My car I just paid over 2 grand for needs more work than the last one I bought for a grand so go figure.

                              Well there's three options now.
                              1. A member or soon to be member bought it.
                              2. Demo guys bought it and will soon make an appearance at a fair near you
                              3. A flipper bought it, will clean it up, and put it on the market for $8k.
