I went today and looked at the car Craig said may be a Stallion that is listed on eBay. If anyone wants the 411, here are all the details that I could see. It is a real Stallion, 47 thousand actual miles, black interior (buckets, floor shifter). The body is in fair shape (a few dings/dents) with a so-so repaint. I'm no Stallion expert, but I think they got a little heavy-handed with the gloss black. Grille, headlight doors, tail-light bezels, etc. are all gloss black. It's got power front disk brakes, A/C (with factory tint windows). It cranked on the first turn and idled like a dream, and I believe the mileage is honest. Has had rust in the front of the hood... looks like it has been filled before the repaint. Otherwise no rust visible on the body other than gravel chips, etc. The car has sat for long periods without being driven. The gas tank has been replaced due to rust-out, and the sheet-metal around the drop-in gas tank is rusty, with a few spots you can see through. Bumpers are straight with filler panels where they should be, but there is some surface rust and pitting (spotting). It's got what looks like an aftermarket 3rd brake light and rear window defroster. I would describe the condition as fair to good, but nowhere near perfect. Would make a real nice daily driver or solid beginning for a rod project, though. P.S. I was thinking about buying it but my wife had a cow. I guess I need to do something with the two I already have  It looks a lot like the one pictured here...
