Yeah the color is not the best. It looks more beige and less silver than the light driftwood color that I like. Hoping it is the garage lighting...being a 93, it could just be a more tan color, which I don't like.

This says it is still Light Driftwood. So it should theoretically be the same as the more silvery look I am familiar with, when not in a parking garage.

Count 'em: four Roadmaster sedans with under 100k listed in PA.

Prices range from $7k on the low end to almost $11k!

Interior is a little rough and the wheels are atrocious (good thing you have SS wheels already).

Says trade for a nice work truck - I wonder if that includes a nice ranger :)

LT1s don't have any exhaust doughnuts. They use a ball and socket type flange. What rusts away is the flange itself. Just bring a couple NAPA split flange repair kits and drive it home!
