Default Sad Sad Story

I'm sad to report that I got into an accident in my other car this weekend. It really messed up my back and sadly the car was totalled. I'll be in physical therapy for awhile I'm told. Now, for the REAL sad part, to pay for bills and a new car, I have to sell my 78 SA . The car is in perfect mechanical condition. The paint is in really good condition, and the interior is alright, but could use a little work. Mods include: a brand new motor I just put in, with less than 500miles on it. The car has true dual exhaust with flowmaster mufflers. Also has a new alternator, distributor, etc. The tranny is in excellent condition, pulled it when putting in the new motor, extremely few metal shavings in it. 2500 stall Torque corverter. Got new brakes (rotors and calipers). Auto, P/S, PW, Tilt/Tele, T-Tops. I'm asking $11,000...more importantly, I just want the car to go somewhere where it won't be abused and I know the people of this forum take great pride in their cars. It would be great for the car to see a loving home. If you want pix, just email me at prufrock76@aol.com or post a reply that you want pix and I can send them to you.
