Brought home the 87 8v



Picked up the 87 8v automatic that I bought sight unseen for $100 today. I 
couldn't be happier. When the guy opened the garage the first thing I notice is 
brand new tires. Can you say purchase price? I look inside and see a very nice 
brown interior. Dash has one very, very minor crack and the rear seat has a 
few burns. Turn the key and it fires right up but dies. The guy says he thinks 
it out of gas.   Putting   it on the trailer i notice the brand new muffler 
and the snowflakes are in excellent condition. when i get it home I put some gas 
in it and it starts right up and runs like a champ. There is some damage in 
the drivers side rear quarter. I think I can bang it out and make it look 
decent though. The car also has about a nickel and 1/2 yellow paint job but it 
doesn't look to bad. Overall I think this may be the best $100 I ever spent. I was 
going to use the wheels and engine in my 81 but now I think I will just make 
this car my daily driver.
