First scrirocco, what to look for. More Info

[gr8hunter1 at comcast.net (Jacob)]

I was hoping someone would speak up and tell me to get it now, sell the 
lincoln and buy the rocco. But your right of course. It shouldnt be 
"too" hard to get the lincoln running, just the inclination to clean out 
gas lines and various other things. Anyway, that is probably what I will 
do, fix the lincoln as much as I can, with very little investment, and 
sell it.
I am glad to see some one suggest $100, or even $50 for that. I was 
expecting more like $200.
Next time I speak up will probably be when I buy that scirocco, or he 
sells it.
