Unfortunately, people who want to buy a used one seem to be only interested in a car only if it was worked on by some guy, who works at a specialized shop, who only used parts that came in a yellow box, etc. Plus...the internet has done a fantastic job of making it easy for anybody to become an expert, qualified to spout off "how bad these cars are."

Btw, I put about 16,000 HARD miles on this car in 4 years. Compression and leakdown were in specs when I sold it. These cars HAVE to be driven.

I plan on buying a salvage 360, with no intention of reselling, and just creating my ultimate thrash car
