Chased down an 82 bird today.

Almost didnt notice it as it passed the opposite direction but it did catch my eye! I turned off a side street, did a u-turn, and chased him right in to the cemetery :hick:

I never seen a black one in person before. lol







Same owner since 1985, he was picking up his new truck when it came in on trade, seen it and had to have it. Traded in a plymouth volare for $3750 off the $10,000 bird with 14,000km. Car now has 111,000km. Always been garaged and his wife only used it to run errands. The interior is the darkest bordello red I have ever witnessed, no sun fade at all!

First thing he said to me was "wana buy it?" Well DUH! :crazy: Had a good BS session with the guy, exchanged phone numbers and parted ways.



If I were working I woulda paid the man and brought it home! But if I spend my savings I gotta go back to work and thats no fun. It will have to wait till I decide to go to work then I will go chat with the old fella some more.

I cant wait to take the buffer and some wax to that black!
