Hi,
        I just looked at it again and found out some more. The exhaust is gone
and laying on the ground. The front bumper is still there. The gas tank
is full of rust. I opened the filler and it was packed with rust, have to
get a new one or a racing cell? Drivers and passengers seats are still
there, can't see into the rear. The wipers are gone. Underneath looks
sound, I don't any holes or feel any soft spots. I found the owners they
live four blocks away so I can't snatch it and apply for a abandoned
title, it also turns out that they have asked about it but they haven't
done anything else. It was sort of joking "do you still have that old car
there?" My girlfriend thinks I won't get it, but I think That I can get
it! I'm thinking that this is after 74 because it has rubber bumpers and
says unleaded fuel only. How much do you guys think now I should offer??
Thanks
Mark Walke
