Hi Ed
 
Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it. Here is the link with more pictures:

I just stumbled upon this site. It's free and I tried to upload some pictures and it let me. I know just about as much as you do about this site. The exterior color is pearl white.

Haven't signed up yet .. Are there more pix available there?
(other than appearing the opening page?)
Is the quality of the stored images good on that site?

What is the exterior color, of the car, you found?

Yes, does seem to be, a bit, of too good to be true!

Dont know what you offered for it ??
But many of these cars have had the odometer replaced!
There were issues non-op conditions with many, and had to be replaced ..
I'm sure someone has pointed this out already ..

Also if there is no proof of the timing belt being done
I would NOT risk driving it down to the Baltimore area.

You should have it shipped directly to a shop and do it!
Another $2000.00 now is better than $10,000.00 later!!

If you decide not to go through with the purchase .. Let
me or another lister in the North east know .. We can
possibly stand in for you to complete the transaction.

Happy motoring ..

Ed
