Be damn sure you don't go over 80 if you buy it.

Snap that car up!! If you have an O'Reilly auto parts around your home go to them, they can get anything you need. When you get it running you have to take me back in time so I can invest in microsoft stocks

i dont know... check and see what a cluth would cost, maybe you could have $3500 bucks into the car and turn it around to the delorian car club for $5,000

dont take my word for it, i just happen to be optimistic once a month
