Hello SHOTimers,
I've decided to part ways with my SHO. These days I just haven't got
the time
or motivation to restore my SHO, and I've found it hard to spend the
additional
time chasing down parts and getting service. I'm also not enough of
a mechanic
to take care of some of her issues myself, and I've not seen a shop
here that
is very capable or comfortable with working on the SHO.
I am open to any offers (including free), however anyone interested
must take
care of picking it up or make arrangements to have it delivered.
She's not in
the best of conditions, but may make someone a great parts car.
This offer is open until 8/18. The highest offer, if any, at or over
$500 will
be accepted by the 11th, otherwise the best offer by the 18th gets
the car.
After that, if nobody has claimed her, I'm going to resign myself to
taking her
to the junk yard. :-(
For reference, I live in Springfield, IL 62704.
