    There's that demo derby suggestion again from a seller who doesn't give a hoot about the car. :mad:

    Just a thousand dollars? Hey, I know my Father isn't very "hot" on Ohio cars but this one looks nifty to me.

    ... No towing package...

    But wait, The motor was replaced too. I wonder if the replacement motor was new or used at purchasing time? It doesn't even have a thousand more miles on it past the new motor, According to the ad.

    This may be a contender for "Wagon for Austin" since I rode in an '87 Caprice Estate. I think I can get into this, I may end up sticking a Diesel engine in it (Not the 1978-1985 GM 5.7 make!) and a manual transmission. And I may fix the rust, It may be fun.

    And I give him credit, This one doesn't have much junk in the rear end unlike some cars I've seen on Craigslist:
