conscience attack.

NEEDS SOME BODY WORK . . . was blindsided by a Winnebago.

LOOKS LIKE NEW . . . just don't try to drive it anywhere.

LOADED WITH OPTIONS . . . each one more troublesome than the next.

ALL ORIGINAL . . . I never had anything fixed, adjusted, or replaced.

PROJECT CAR . . . doesn't run

LOTS OF POTENTIAL . . . doesn't run

NEEDS MINOR REPAIR . . . doesn't run.
