I think I just rode past that car sitting out in a yard either on 977 or 233 somewhere near Mont Alto on my way home from Summit Point.

Dat you?

Foxtrapper is correct, that was me, 997 just before Mont Alto!

The important question that hasn't been asked yet:

How rusty is it?

Nice, my favorite local riding/driving loop includes 233 and 997. 233 up through Michaux is especially great, just gotta watch for deer.

Yeah, definitely watch for deer. I think they might be why I have an obsession with really nice headlights...

Actually, I thought I mentioned it, but it's actually in good shape. Underneath there really isn't any rust. There are a few paint bubbles, but honestly to my knowledge that's the extent of it.

Thanks for the update. It's a bit far for me, and I am trying to make it a year without any project cars. Maybe if I sell my boat.

Well, good luck with selling the boat, but I went almost a year without buying any cars and it was horrible. Got on craigslist and picked one up a couple weeks ago, and might go get something else tonight... :) Much better.

Guys, I forgot the best selling point of the car.

Comes with authentic old car smell!

Attractive to some women.

Hey everyone, I'm buying a house tomorrow so it would be REALLY nice if someone would buy this before Thanksgiving.

Price drop to $2000

You know you want that rear wheel drive bimmer for winter fun!

Trust me if it was a manual transmission it would have sold a LONG time ago!

I will admit, part of me wants to make you a stupid offer. But the nice part of me doesn't want to be a CLer.

Would be seriously tempted with a 5 spd. That was one of my favorite cars.GLWS. Do you have it posted on mye28.com?

I appreciate it, but I won't go lower than $2000. Otherwise I'll just keep it. It would be nice to have the money and one less thing on the insurance, but $2000 is my limit. :)

5 Speed swaps are readily available. ;)

I did post it on mye28.com a while back, but it didn't get any comments. Also posted on CL, and a batch of Facebook yardsale groups.

Anyone? $2k is the lowest I'll go. Open to interesting trades, but cash is best!
