    Well, it's worthless now. I'll take it off your hands for $500.

    +1 it's done for now. He might be able to get a bit more for it if he takes the time to part it out though. :)

    I hear that's Dr. Evil's scheme in the next Austin Powers movie. Except on a large scale.

    Mines just getting ready to turn over 50K miles. Just did the plug wires and plugs, She's never run so good. These cars are like fine wine, The older they get the better they run.

    Mine is about to turn 50k... it's at like 49,212 or something like that..

    I admit I do have the occasional heart palp at the thought.

    BUT I can guarantee if I do sell her she's one of the best sorted 348's out there.. sans the miles.

    She ain't no garage queen!
