    Well it looks complete, in the second picture. If it runs at all it is worth the asking price but you should bid him down anyway
    I doubt you will find a better one in that price range. $300 extra if he throws in the trailer.
    Sh** or get off the Pot

        Looks like the FD is leaking. At first I thought it was a shadow but the sun angle is wrong.

            If the FD is leaking, how much of a repair problem is that? Let's assume there are no case cracks.

              No problem at all, you can get another one on ebay for 20 - 30 bucks. Cheaper than seals.

                Crap, I have 6 or 8 of them laying around here. Use it for a price reduction point.

                  Oh Well!

                  Just found out that this one has sold, but the guy can't get it deleted from the website. Someone else will have to deal with that leak.
