Re: IML: A million questions (Was Please Welcome Jeff Voth)

Jeff,
    If you can do a lot of the work yourself, go for it.  . My
1975 LeBaron cost $1100.00 in February, 2003, down from $2000.00.
 Beside the fast that he lived so far away from everything, I
think that he felt sorry for me as my Mother died on the original
Saturday the we were going to get it, and that we could come and
get it the following Saturday.  I had also told him that I had
had a 69 previously and would put a lot of TLC into it.  By the
way EVERYTHING is original!  Even the top.  AND, it has extremely
little rusting, considering that it WAS a west central Washington
state car.
