Default #295 recently purchased in PA

Well a few weeks ago i purchased #295. Car had bad motor and a salvage title when i purchased it all body stuff was repaired but motor had broken oilpan that had been replaced but motor was bad already. It has 12,400 miles i paid 13k cash for it, put a $2750 motor in and got it retitled and have less then 16.5k in it. i put over 1k miles on it and love it. Its amazing how well this car handles.

A slavage title car with only "body" issues? How's the frame look?
Sounds like a KILLER deal if you intend to run it into the dirt.

Where'd you find an HR in good shape for $2750?

I got the motor from weber bros auto in PA. it was hit dead center in front and had no frame damage (i own a bodyshop so i know what too look for) It hit low in front and took out hood,rad sup, rad, condenser, oil pan crossmember, front bumper cover , bumper support, airbags, and windsheild. I got all receipts for parts replaced.



It is the one that was on Ebay less then a month ago.
