Subject:      85 GL FS in Pittsburgh
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hey List,

I would like to part with an 85 GL that I have.  A very good parts car, or
you could fix it up to go.  It is a 1.9, automatic, w/ air conditioning.  Of
course it has PS and a tach in the dash.  I had it running today & drove it
around the block.

It does need a lot of work though.  The power steering line is rusted out,
the water tubes to the rad are rusty, though not leaking.  It undobtable
needs brake work.  Some pretty bad seam rust too.

I am looking for $250.00 or an offer and you will need to tow it out of
here.  It has a signed PA title (not in my name), along with all the other
paperwork to get your own title.

Any one interested?
