Subject: Re: Who's brave enough to buy this one?

Body:
It's # 159 of the 247. Hit on Driver Side, no taillights, etc, etc,
interior rotten, roof rotten. Car is 100% worthless! If you took
the car for free, when done, & done RIGHT, you'd have $10,000 in it.
For $10,000 you can buy a decent one that has not been trashed like
this!
When I was in the car business we used to say, "Once a whore, always
a whore...maybe a whore with lipstick & a designer gown....but still
a whore" ~ This one's $5.00 a throw!!

Afterthought... What a pity! Whomever couldn't have just bought a
Mustang and done this to it!
