Default She's Home....

Came home yesterday. 1986, 42K miles, bought from the 2nd owner who got her in 1987. She's in pretty good shape but still will need a good going over at a minimum. Already starting a list of parts and tasks...

On the internet, lol. It had actually been for sale for a while, but only in one place. ClassicCars.com I think. Private seller. Interesting transaction, lots of phone calls and waiting for things to happen. First time I bought something like this without seeing in person first. Not so sure I would do it again, but seems to have worked out ok so far.

Good choice. These cars tend to make us look like the smartest guy on the road, so take care of it !
