Hey Gang:
I know of the car Patrick is writing about, it's at a car lot not far
from my house (as is Patrick..)
It's a convertable, not a courier. (Sorry Andy...) It looks to be in
pretty good shape (from 20 yards away at 45 mph....) but I don't know
that it's worth the 5 grand they're asking...
regards,
John
