I have a very decent SD1 near Philly that I need to dispose of. It has
engine problems that I don't have the time or energy to correct.
Excellent interior and goof 5-speed trans. If there is anyone reading
this who is within driving distance who has an interest, please contact
me at glenwilson at ixpres.com or at 610-872-2109. This is something you
need to see and evaluate. Please don't respond at this time if you are
at a great distance and can't come see the car. It may end up being
crushed before long since I currently have a severe storage problem. If
you're close enough to visit, I'll fill you in on the details.
