I attempted to start it 5 times then the battery caught on fire and subsequently cause an electrical fire which the fire department was able to arrive in 30 seconds and put it out unfortunately they had to use the jaws of life and saw open the hood but other than the electrical damage everything else is ok. The engine is perfect and I was considering putting it my mustang but I figured I'd list it as a project car. I contemplated parting it out but because of the interior combined with the LOW MILEAGE for a 32 year old car I figured I'd list it as a whole.
