Nick,
don't let curmudgeonly Roger rain too heavily on your parade. His assessment of the 90K car might be accurate if it hadn't been dealer maintained by a Lawyer before he died and it sat idle for some time. Some of the original records will show this if still avail. But to make sure a previous owner went through the underneath and replaced almost every rubber bit and a lot of non rubber bits as well. Not to mention a lot of interior electricals, EVERY Thing worked when this owner bought it. Most of the suspension save the springs were done and really why would you do those on a then 45K mile car. The euro lights, steering wheel and mint interior may go a way to offset any rust work needed but not sure. Rogers just sorry he missed it when it was sold =:^)

Nick....I am not interested in buying either of these cars though. One caveat: if
you are thinking of buying either one of them, my recommendation is, DON"T.
The 90k V8 in Falmouth
already has some rust on the doors according to the seller. That will mean
that EVERYTHING underneath is toast.every rubber gizzie connecting every
other little suspension piece, every control arm, link, exhaust hanger,
exhaust, muffler, and virtually everything else in sight except probably for
the body itself is toast. Rear brakes? Fergeddaboutdem! E brake cables?
VERY toasty.
