If anyone needs financing...try jjs best auto loans. Slightly higher rates but made for older vehicle/classic car purchases. Regular banks usual will not finance a vehicle this old. Just another Avenue to try.
My car is put away until may. Michigan weather, my man... i got nothing but time. And... they also have a special; $475 for the port and 300 for a rebuild(snout and bearings). Not too shabby.
However.... depending on prices, Iay be interested in just buying another one. Let me know whenough...
