Hello,

Sorry about the wrapping on that first email.  I didn't realize the  
list server automatically re-wrapped emails.  Here is a repost.

Subject:        1993 Emerald Green SHO -- Needs a New Home -- Spfld, IL

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.
