This is what she looked like when I got her. Has 167k miles, manual tranny that shifts like butter, blue interior, very clean body with no rust, and lots of recent engine work.

So far I took off the old purple tint, put some clean HX's on, replaced the lift supports, installed new battery terminals, and fixed the rear seat fold down knobs.

My goal for my RT is to have a very clean and reliable wagon, I don't plan on doing many mods to it. Just going to keep it a clean DD.

I still need to replace the passenger outside tail light, door lock knobs, and some window cranks. If anyone local to me might have these parts just hit me up. Thanks.

    Thanks everyone, I was born and raised in Edgewood but now call Milton home. I was pretty excited to find my RT, I really wanted one that was as close to stock as possible, mechanically sound, and still the factory color. I ended up driving down to Portland to get it.

    Yes, I got it from Jesse. Is it the factory stereo you are looking for?

    I don't have a use for it, no speakers in the car rite now. But eventually I'll put a CD player and some decent speakers. Pm me with your address and I'll send it down to you.

    How did you get the tint off? I just bought one and it has the same old tint on the windows bubbling up. I am especially nerveous about the rear window with the defroster... How did you do it? I almost bought that car myself but you beat me to it! Love the wheels you put on.

    Thanks steve, it took alot of time and help from a buddy. There are still areas on the rear window I didn't want to mess with. But it's off for the most part, I don't know if all the lines worked before I started but I have 4 that work now. I used glass cleaner and razor blades to get it off. You just have to go very slow around the lines on the rear, the other windows are pretty easy.

    Thanks, I was pretty happy to find one that clean. I just got the door lock knobs taken care of so I have all doors working, replaced my broken tail light, and I also replaced the driver window regulator.

    Future plans will most likely be an alternator since my dash battery light likes to flash at me and sometimes just stays on, and a full out interior detail.
