hope you got a good deal! was this car on ebay? Good luck

Yes I believe the previous owner said that it was on Ebay at one point. It had been for sale for a long time from what I recall and it was within driving distance for me. I think a big part of the reason it wouldn't sell was because it will only run race fuel. For me, an E85 conversion was the way around that so I jumped on it. For some reason it seemed really hard for me to find a car that wasn't on the east or west coast or way out somewhere that would take a whole day to drive to and have most of the things already done that I didn't want to do. I found it through craigslist. Whether I really got a good deal is debatable. I don't feel I got a smoking deal, but I don't feel ripped off either. I pretty much just paid the PO for what he had in the motor and he threw in some extra parts with it. We still keep in touch and I update him on what I'm doing with the car. He's pretty disgusted with the paint guy too after I told him what I've been finding. But he's happy to hear that the car went to someone who is going to take car of it and make it right. The car wasn't able to be completely finished because of the arthritis in the PO's back and he was no longer working (the guy was 70!). So he was selling all his toys, which this car was his pride and joy that he didn't get to truly enjoy. So he's more than excited to know what this will run at the track when it's done, as am I!
