thumbing through the auto shopper the other day i spotted an '89 Cabby for 
$1600. So w/ car dolly in tow yesterday i went for a looksee. What i found 
was a black on white cabby, small bumpers, single headlights, w/ 140k in the 
clock.   looking it over the interior was dirty w/ average wear, but the dash 
is perfect. (wish the same was true for my roc) the motor is strong but upon 
a test drive something was diffferent, the tranny was real short compared to 
my roc. got back and looked underneath.   4K!    SCORE!!!!!!   after some 
haggling & $1200 later it was mine.  lady gave me reciepts for the last 4 
yrs.    seems the clutch went 1.5 years ago taking the tranny w/ it (i did't 
ask how she managed this feat) seems the shop found the tranny in a parts car 
and put a new clutch in it. she hasnt driven it much in the past year because 
it hasnt felt the same.. go figure.   also included was a invoice for a new 
top, liner and boot, done 2 mos before the tranny.    so here come the new 
project.
GOOD LUCK AND GODSPEED
