Re: lookin at a conquest

frame rails, steering rag joint, seats get torn up, driveline noise (wiggle the driveshaft if it's even in the car). Look at the engine bay wiring for anything cut or chewed through. A lot of these cars sit in somebody's field or backyard for years at a time, and rodents call them home. Matching wheels are nice. e-brake cables like to freeze up, tail lights get cracked, fill with water and turn brown, it's awesome. some colors weren't clear coated, like red. See if it rolls.

All the other stuff is pretty normal. Check the gas tank to see if it smells like gas or varnish. And have fun.
