    You did such an awesome job on your Sprint. What would you give for this Sprint as pictured? I want to know if the price is right. The only rust I can find, is just starting behind each rear wheel on the bottom. It's only bubbling under the paint & not that big or that bad. The lip of the hood was rusted where you mount the chrome trim. The person cut it out, & never fixed it (can't mount trim piece now). I will get an extra hood with absolutely no rust anywhere. The trans was originally a 3 on the tree. It now has a 60's Mustang 3 speed, with a floor shifter. I will get the original trans with it. The headliner has a couple of little tears in it, so will need to be replaced. The rearseat at the top needs to be redone (Sun damage). I will get the extra material that was leftover from having the front seat done. It has the 200 cu in What would be the minimum you would pay for this Sprint? Thanks......

    I thought he wanted $1200 for it? Looks like it's worth more than that. There ain't no way I would have left there without that car ...

    Sweet deal - if it has just the small amount of rust you found you definitely stole it ... congrats ... if it was near me I would have bought it! ... However, there are some other Southerners down here I am sure would have been fighting for it as well ...

    Yep, you suck. ;) Congrats on the purchase. Feel better in that he got it even cheaper than you did. I'm just glad you already heard about it before I told you. I'd kick myself even harder otherwise. :slap:

    Looks like there's a couple other Mav's in the background of that third pic. Did you get to check them out too, or are they yours already? Oh and BTW if I didn't already have a Sprint I'd be extremely green with envy right now.
