    At first glance I thought that was a Typhoon! You'd have a good chunk of change if it were but it looks to be a Jimmy to me. It looks to be in good shape but I have a feeling that snow is covering up some rust. Is this a special edition Jimmy? I don't recall the base models having that pinstriping down the sides. Here's a Typhoon for those who don't know. Only made in 1992 and 1993, it could do 0-to-60 in 5.3 seconds!

    Now that was an unbelievable deal and its even got aluminum wheels on it, even the tires look to be in great shape.

    How much did you pay for this one? When you buy cars, do you tell the people you're buying to scrap it or want some parts off it? Sorry, I'm a newbie looking for advice!!!

    I plan on using a car dolly (front wheels go on dolly and rear wheel stay on street) for now until I get a bigger trailer. I still havent scrapped a car yet but, I could probably do lots of junks cars out there with a car dolly. My yard does cars now too so that is a bonus. One step at a time.

    remarkably enough the price comes down when you say that you are buying it for scrap.
