A few hours fettling after work and I loaded her up.

Very nice car.I agree with the comments above. We seem to be seeing more asking prices in the $13-14k range. But I truly doubt cars are selling at that price.

The flat mirrors that came with these cars are useless.But convex mirrors on the fenders have worked fine for me since 1983.
