Chris, if yours looks that nice you can probably trade it in on a truck and get a pretty good deal.

Sad to say - no. If was given to me free from a co-worker who was going thru a divorce and took out her frustrations on the car. Scratches across the hood, doors and trunk. But runs like a dream.

Not exactly a car but this is my new Arkansas ride. Second set of pics is the "road" I have to drive to get to the dock where the boats are docked. Used to take the Jeep but my 2002 has seen better days and with 130,000 miles the clutch has too. The Cat is 2-wheel, 4-wheel (limited slip front wheels), or locked 4-wheel. the big baloon tires are 10psi and really grip and soak up the bumps. The auto-trans has low and high plus reverse and will do 50 -55 mph on the open road. Not street legal but no one here cares though I tend to just use it to get to the dock and back
Road Pics:
1. Top of road looking down about 15%
2. Aout 1/3 down about 20%
3. About 2/3 down about 25%
4. Turning the bottom corner, dock on extreem right
5. Looking back on corner
6. Final 180 turn to dock
7. My dock from where the water level was in July about a 40ft drop

Looks like you got a nice little ride. I have been wanting a four wheeler for a while now but the funds won't allow it.

OK, I brought this 68 Corvette 427/4-spd car back from the dead. Bought it non-running in Sept 1991...20 year owner now!
During the 70s, this car was in Germany with a GI by the name of Manning, probably in maroon.
Here she is in her Safari Yellow, painted in the mid 90s when I was stationed in Columbus, GA
I call her RatVette! I rebuilt the 427, the M-20 Muncie, etc. I am a gearhead! She has good manners but is a garage queen
Some 5 years ago, I wanted a Chevelle, needed a truck. I bought this 1970 El Camino. Then she had a mild 350, good for hauling stuff about for my remodel but LAME at the dragstrip. Three years back she got a mild 454, went from 15.1 (350 power) to 13.3 in the 1/4 mile. I eventually got the Elky to run 12.7s. Last year, she got a more serious 454, also from my garage. She has run in the 11.7s lots. So far, .71Gs at launch, 0-60 mph in approx 3.25 sec, 60 foot in 1.62 sec. In drive she runs 12.02 all day long. This is with drag radials and mild 3.42 gearing.
Last year I bought a 1968 Camaro ragtop. I got her running, drove it a bit. Now totally torn down for restoration. Currently at the blasters, new metal coming...
pic from last year
pic from this summer after stripping. basic body work, then sealing of the doors, fenders and removables. Replacement quarter panels just sitting there
pic from the other day, quarters cut out, car stripped to go to the blasters.
I signed up for body and paint classes at the local tech college. Now in the 2nd quarter.
Resident gearhead on Team Chevelle with well over 10k posts, mostly in the Performance section. I also frequent Team Camaro.
Daily driver?
1999 Chevy S-10 pick-up, 2.2L

Very nice collection Kettbo!! Big blocks give the fun meter a hard workout.
I don't see the words Jeep above the grill...
Just kidding. Not bad for a first car.

Nice ride Trebor! Keep it serviced regularly and it will last a long time!
lol thanks guys
LITTLE car?? this is a full size sedan. lol
and it had 2 previous owners. no accidents, very well taken care of, both owners were non smoking. so that's a BIG plus. the only drawback is that it's got a....cassette player....yeah it's that old LOL so the next thing I'm gonna do after getting some essentials for it (first aid kit, emergency flashlight, scraper, squeegee, etc: I'm gonna get the cheapest stereo I can find,

Get on Ebay and you can find a factory unit with a CD player rather cheap. And they are good quality to.
