I was on my way last night to talk to a guy I know to look at his headlights on a wrecked Vert. On my way there I say one this guy used to own and decided to stop by. Whil I was talking to the new owner - he offered to sell it to me - $200, I cleared it with my wife, in a couple of weeks, I will own a vert! the paint is pealing (clear coat), but all of the sheet metal looks good, looks like all of the panels are in good shape, the seats will have to go - they look a little rough. The top has recently been torn - he placed a vinyl sheet over the top to keep the weather out, the dash has some cracks in it but not horrible! outside of some cosmetic issues, it looks pretty sound. There is an issue with the tranny - i figure a rebuild or find a replacement (5 speed). The engine's oil looks pretty clean. I figure that even if I can't revive this one, there is enough on it that I can make it worth my $200. I will try to get some picks this weekend!

Congrats on scoring a Vert! You will love it - with the top down it is very much like driving a gokart! Enjoy!

He also scored the tracker from the same guy - look at this post. Lots of Geos for sale He is interested in selling those also, I'm just curious as to how mush you guys think they may be worth? I will put pictures on here soon! I just noticed that I caught some picks of the vert I'm getting in some of the picks on this post - it is the purple one in the tracker photos!
