The car has been with me for over 16 years and has served me faithfully. I have too many projects and no longer have to make a 100-mile round trip for work every day. So, it is time to find her a new, good home. Listed below are the things I can think of that are beyond normal maintenance. The car is being sold as-is. No implied or any other kind of warranty.
