*bump*  Still looking for one that the owner doesn't think is "rare" which means overpriced.

Nope.  Just driver quality though.

If it had T-Tops it would be in my driveway now.

Yes.  I'm really forcing myself to not get it.  The T-Roof is probably the most important option I want, but the is a dam sweet car and actually under my budget.

I'm amazed how many cars are on Craig's for weeks overpriced that show up on Ebay with a ridiculuous reserve and don't sell.  you'd think that people would understand that their "rare" "Hearst Trans Am" isn't that rare and is overpriced.

I'm figuring fall when cars need to go back into storage the market will fatten up.  That's what happens with motorcycles.

Another one!  It's like fate is teasing me to see how bad I want those T-Tops.

The one in Charlotte looks like it's been really hacked up through the years.  Says new paint but what did they use???  Tractor paint??????  The one in NJ looks like a much better deal.  Then again, pictures hide a lot and you really need to crawl under the car and take a peek at the rot areas.

Yeah, something about the hood doesn't look right where it meets the fender.  But, it's another red one which seems to not be as plentiful.  (Notice I didn't say rare, lol)
