If I have time, I am going to try to check this car out. A few looks at the engine will show it's real miles. I always check out the rubber on the pedals - if they are very worn then you know it has been driven to death. I will also check out the boots, hoses and etc. ....that is, if I have time, I have been very busy. But if there is anyone seriously interested in it and needs me to check it out for them I will be happy to assist any way I can! - Videobob VIN#5278 >From: Samuel <samuel_yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: Re: [DML] 5 Speed/ Grey - On eBay in Texas >Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 22:49:25 -0500 > >I was looking at that car's pictures, along with some others and some >points have been brought up. > >1.
