Reminds me of a deal I came across in our local classifieds in MN. It
advertised an early body-style red hardtop for only $250. Needless to say, I
drove down immediately to pick it up. It looked like it had been sitting in
that garage for years, and was badly oxidised due to neglect.

I bought it anyway, and had plans to give it a nice new coat of paint.
Turned out I didn't have to. A simple polish-and wax job restored it to a
brilliant red!

A year later, when I traded my red '93 for a nice black-on-black '95, I
bought a black hardtop with defroster locally for $700, and sold the red
hardtop on eBay for $1000!=)
