    ID105150. I drove over to Lake Havasu, AZ and saw and drove this one. Just enough room in the engine compartment to shoe horn that 350 chebbie engine into there. Nice larger older (rejuvinated) Buick radiator to handle the cooling for that 350. Looked real nice though and the 200-R really shifted nice. Kinda a rough rider though, due to the air ride system but had an nice stance once parked. The paint job was 1st class and custom mixed with about a pint left over for touch up's, but didn't like the hood and the scoop. The air breather was up into it all the way so that's why it was done that way, I'm guessing. The convertible top was new and looking good but not power, but had a nice piece of glass for the rear window and a boot, but had to be careful when lowering top as the pumps were right under it. The clasps to hold down the front when up were very pitted. No spare tire in trunk due to the pumps, compressor and air holding tank. Mustang II front end was nice and the underneath was very clean and sparkled. All in all, a very nice ride. A bit pricey though and not having a buick engine was a definate turn off. Bet this little hot rod will really move out when asked though. A definate keeper for some one. Jim

    The 000008 I emailed them twice about. The 1st time guess I asked to many questions as I never did get an answer. The 2nd time I asked only one question about the A/C and I got a one word answer. Those car dealers can be pretty tight lipped and very proud of their cars sometimes, and this is the case with this car. They dropped the price from what they had it listed for last summer. It looks like a really nice car, but found out the hard (and expensive) way that pictures can be deceiving sometimes. Do believe someone would have to go and check it out in person to be satisfied with this car. Jim
