We all love 5 speeds...

I so want to get that for Lil Stampie's first car but I'm pretty sure he'd put me in the nursing home early if I did. 

Just as expected, I was trying to guess what it was as I followed the link. Not even close. 

It hits the trifecta of no title, rusty, and ran when parked.

In reply to TheRX7Project :

At least the $700 asking price isn't totally out of line... 

I'm not sure what to make of this... part of me sees the potential... and a bigger part says I already have a diesel 5 spd wagon that I haven't touched in four and half years... 

Well, it's not brown, so I have no need for it

I mean it doesn't need a title in GA, it's old enough for bill of sale only.

You people are very weird to want that.  It was a disposable POS 35 years ago and time has not improved it.

Unfortunately, it probably has enough grease on it to resist rust for a while.  What a regretable car buying decision!

I actually knew somebody that had one of those new.  They lived in Minot, ND (he was in the Air Force) and starting it in the winter was a treat.   

One of my high school teachers had a two door escort version of that.  It was....   slow and Smokey.  But ran for 400k miles.

don't forget 61 horsepower of pure, unadulterated slowness.

Not brown, and not RWD.  

Show me a manual-swapped W123 300TD and you will have my undivided attention.
