The story

I brought this car from my dad's brother in Calforina for 3,000, and I had it shipped to New Jersey and then I drove it back to upstate n.y. The car has a little rust on it, and I plain to get that fixed this summer. Overall the car is in very good shape, and I really enjoy it. — RancheroDave
