Yup, it was running great. I bought the car in LA and drove it for a couple weeks around LA and then drove it cross country to Nashville where it now sits disemboweled.

Where is this $200 engine? I checked craigslist but didn't see it there. It's far from me now but worth a look maybe....

Thanks.
