You betcha!
And her eyelids still open and close as well. All the parts are there. They'll be doing a general clean-up, replacing all the rubber and hoses, seals and gaskets, new brake lines, new electrical lines, new tires and rims,
a bit of body work and a paint job.

That is a very sweet and cool color.
Incedentaly, check out the basketball backboard on the garage in the first pic.
There's a colony of about 120 bats living behind it!
I guess that makes it more of a batsketball backboard!
(Maybe I should have posted this in the pun thread?)
