1988 300TE
Reminds me of Bobby White's Wrecks to Riches tv show on discovery or TLC, except this is 1000 times better. 550 bones for that car then all those fancy paint job ( digging it btw especially with the one at night. love that sort of paint, one color during the day and completely different color at night )

Hope you already cleaned the engine bay, its brutal enough already lookin' at all that texas dust in it

was it in a decent running condition when you got it? or did you just get lucky and had the seller sell it because it was so dirty? o.O
