Hey Shawn,

        For $900 dollars how can you go wrong.  It has been stored for 10 years 
si you are going to have to fix a buch of stuff to make it run real well, 
but starting with a $900 car that needs $2000 invested in it is better 
than starting with a $4000 car that needs $2000 invested in it.  For $900 
dollars I would ask only the following questions.

1) Does the engine run?
2) Does the frame have any rot?
3) Do the brakes stop the car?
4) After run for 20 minutes does the car idle smooth?  (If yes then it is 
a bonus)
5) Does the car have an OD? (If yes then buy it!)

        If the answer to #2 is NO, and the engine runs buy it.  If the answer 
to 
any of the other questions is yes then buy it right now!

Later,
JHD IV
