Sorry I don't have any recent photos, but I've compiled a list of all the bad and good I know about the car. If you want to pass this info along, I'd appreciate it.
I'd be open to whatever offers, especially if it goes to someone who wants to keep it going. I know this lost isn't selling it, but want to keep it as honest as possible.
