It's been there before but the opening bid looks good.

20 minutes from the house .They usually have an older camaro or a vette sitting outside but mostly overpriced late model cars. I'll stop by next week to check it out if I can.

Are the fanbelts on inside out? I have never seen them installed like that, or a belt with the slots on the outside of the pulley.

Now this is DD material! Just imagine your commute to/from work/school...

On the first "restored" one...

Wasn't its BIN at like 17.9k? Now the BIN is gone and a 5k bid are on it, which is much fairer a starting point. Lots of corners cut, "custom" interior vinyl and carpet, dash cover etc. Looks like the front of the engine leaks oil (timing cover, front seal, oil pan gasket?) onto the steering rack and sway bar--o/w it looks like a good DD (unlike the GT2 racer!)

I would love to take my kid to school in that car!

Yeah that's a wierd one. I've never seen that either. Nice car overall but there are some oddities.
