Asking price is $1500. It needs a lot of work including
engine/transmission. It would be best if your client could come look


at the car. Attached are some pictures. You can call me at home at
xxx-xxx-xxxx in the evenings.

Photos have been sent (to Tim). I would prefer to deal only with
payment for the car, not for shipping. The payment for the car can be
sent to the following address in my name:

xxxxx

I believe the bank will put a hold on the money until the funds have
cleared, so once that happens, the shipper can come get the car. Once
again you can reach me in the evenings at xxx-xxx-xxxx. Thanks!
