The tow truck dropped off my newest prize possession in my driveway, this morning. :)

I know many of you have seen it already, but I'm just SO FREAKING EXCITED that I'm reposting the same photo.

Game plan:

Battery

Pick lock to gas tank (previous owner has lost all keys to the car except the ignition key).

Change all fluids.

(Hopefully) Enjoy.

Wow that is some early EFI. Also Seafoam is the cure all. It works for anything with a gasoline powered engine. And how much did you pay?
