Retail Red, not hateful or bad on the miles, probably just enough wrong with it to chase off the tire-kickers.

The usual cautions about the fees and shipping, as Abscate has pointed out.
Mostly I post these to keep our little group informed about cars of interest that Might be had for a bargain, or to save one from the crusher.
Back in Nearly Normal time, I bought a couple of cars from these folks, and both have sorta worked out.
Your mileage may vary.
It was a bit safer when you could lay Mark I eyeballs on the horseflesh. Now it's roll of the dice.

Back on the block tomorrow, still not getting much attention.
Dunno why they pulled it earlier in the week; pretty unusual for it to get relisted so soon.

Made $1700 plus the fees, pretty spendy for this auction location and a 23 year old niche car.
