Um,...Kik, what do you mean by your post? Maybe I'm an idiot and may have missed something that is glaringly obvious, but still, WTF?

Well I guess I can delete this thread or save it for later. Took my trip to see the topless pair. Said I'd post pics so I will but I had to leave em sit where I saw em. Nice enough elderly gent but his "great body on the red one" did not coincide with my idea of a great body car. There was no mention of the extensive bodywork to make the yellow one into what I wanted and the interiors were pretty bad especially on the red one. There is a spare engine in the red one's trunk. Heavy rust under and around. He said there was someone "chompin' at the bits" to give him the "full blow" that he was asking originally. With that and the fact that he told me the red one was a great body shape car, I shook hands with him and told him to let the other guy/gal have em.

Why certainly, SnowFish! If you want em, come on down. I'll even drive over & help you get em hooked up if you need a couple projects. :D He's a nice guy...he just didn't see the cars like I saw em. I'm looking for a rust-free (or close to it) specimen and I don't mind if it has engine problems. I don't do bodywork or paint so if I have to go outside to get work done, that usually kills the project. Neither of these were what I was looking for but I thought the way he described the red one was it.

Normally I don't like to tell another man's business but in this case in this forum I will. The Craigslist ad was originally listed at 1950 for the pair and a spare engine. Someone had even posted it here in the CL thread. I had been emailing him back & forth when the ad first came out cause I get alerts in the area when anything GEO METRO pops on via my phone.Couldn't tell a lot about the cars from that front on position and he said he would send some more pics but he got busy and didn't. I actually just saw them for the first time today. The red one has a bad engine. When asked what happened to it, he bought it that way, dolly'ed it home and hadn't done anything to it. I know the alternator and throttle body was off it but he said it was in the car. I didn't look past the rust underneath on it. He said the PO said it was a piston but he also said he didn't know if the guy even knew. I had planned on keeping it and the spare engine, doing a 3Tech on it and "restoring" it cause he told me it was a great body.

We worked together down to 1200 for the whole deal...2 cars & the engine. That got me interested enough to make the drive but it was not a total loss. Me & Wifey drove over, found a great Mexican restaurant, had lunch and drove back home. :thumb
