If you just moved, you are in my backyard! Just down the road in East Nottingham.

I will go by again tomorrow and snap some pics and see if there is any contact info.

Looks decent and tires have air. Flat black hides many sins from 10' though.

Make that at least 3 of us! I'm in Newark as well. You guys should come autocross with us - look up Brandywine Motorsport Club. Season opener is April 11, probably in the Glasgow area.

Unfortunately I have yet to make the venture to check this one out. Frigid temperatures have kept me indoors lately. It looks like we are warming up this weekend so perhaps I will make the 15 minute drive to check it out.

I do recall seeing this car behind that particular home for a few years. It used to be my daily commute route.

I dont turn anymore but I may come to hang. When the weather is right you will find me at cecil gas pedaling.

If this ends up a local challenge effort, count me in.

Been too long not on line. Work, work, work, then home to crash. Haven't made it to see the 280 (if it's even still there.)

Swung by and checked this guy out the other day. Pretttttty rough I would say. The lack of carb indicates it does not run and it appears to be a SBC. Also an auto and the interior/exterior is thrashed.
