Default She's Home....

Came home yesterday. 1986, 42K miles, bought from the 2nd owner who got her in 1987. She's in pretty good shape but still will need a good going over at a minimum. Already starting a list of parts and tasks...

On the internet, lol. It had actually been for sale for a while, but only in one place. ClassicCars.com I think. Private seller. Interesting transaction, lots of phone calls and waiting for things to happen. First time I bought something like this without seeing in person first. Not so sure I would do it again, but seems to have worked out ok so far.
