I'm a little north of the city in Tarentum.
Tarentum, an old indian town. Why did the indians buy houses there, you ask? 'Twas an early investment opportunity. They bought 'em to rent 'em.

If I recall, that 2130 has all the parts you need to make a good one if it was her a$$ that caught fire According to the internet, if you do get it running, the AGS transaxle isn't likely to last that long anyhow.

If that cub bug is really biting, I see there's a 1250 for 250 on craigslist about 10 miles from you that needs some love.
