Yeah I know it's a piece 'o' shiznit but it's near me and cheap. The interior looks really clean and it could be dyed gray:grinno: . Basically I'm thinking of it as a parts car. Not that there's anything really wrong with mine it's just who dosen't like to have spare parts :hick:? The bumper looks good and so does the molding. I could yank the interior, trim, engine and trans, wheels (I like the 8 holes :raspberry ), and send the rest to the crusher. So what do ya guys think?

If you do buy it..can I buy the fuel lines from ya? LOL
Looks to be a decent car, wish i could find one within a couple hundred miles of me, for that price..I'd be all over it.
I was looking at the first pik thinkin 'now why the hell would you part that out' then I saw the rocker pic...
I say for $500 or under its a good deal for spare parts, more if theres anything there you 'need'
Scott
I might wait till Wednesday and see if the price goes up or not. If it dosen't I might try to contact the guy and see how much he'll let it go for........
Is that a power-recline I see?
Yep. Both my seats have that:cool: . That's only the 2nd car I've seen that on (besides mine).
Thats cool. I just assumed that power seats=power recline as well. My cat has the power recline.
I've seen (in person) ONE other car with power recline and I think it was Crystal's old sport. Anyone seen her lately?
My 20th has power recline , unless you guys are just talking about the birds.
My LS has power recline too.
Why not just fix it?
Everyone is so quick to junk cars.
I think that is a good deal. Though the rust would be really a pain to fix. Either way not bad.
Daniel
I'd fix it
Grab it!!! If you're parting it out,there are people here wanting the floor shifter.Those are getting VERY hard to find.The seats could bring some money.I have no doubt that you could easily get your money back.
double post,darn computer !!!
Meh. Part that. Did you guys see this picture?

No thank you sir, I do not like it. If you're taking that to a body shop that's at least $1k worth of work. I vote part that sumbitch. Let one car die so a few others can be improved.
They salt like crazy around here. Being that the lower quarters are sooo far gone and the rest of the car below the belt is rusty it's not worth it. From what I've seen by the time the body looks like that the strut towers are probably rusty as hell too. Hell the whole frame is probably pretty bad.
I'm going to see if I can get it. The only problem is finding a place to put it. If I can find some place I'm going to try to get it and part it.
alot better shape than mine is in.
Then you need to pull your car off the road before someone gets killed.
Scott
I was gonna say! Yabba-dabba-dooooo! That shiznit must be like Flintstone-mobile.
I meant the quarters
That car looks nearly identical to the Sport I'm getting.Mine doesn't have any rust (Thankyou Oklahoma).
Fudge I don't think I can get it:mad: I have the money but no where to put it. I can't put it in my parents garage and the garage I store my T-bird in is only a 1&1/2 car garage. I'm not putting my T-bird out in the weather so I can strip that one. I need another garage. Besides if it sits out I have to register it and I don't want to get plates and for a car I'm going to strip.
Anyoen from Chicago wana help out?
man, that sucks.
