Title: car lot sighting
Post by: Shadow on September 30, 2011, 02:13:27 PM
a buddy of mine spotted a 4 eyed bird sitting at a car lot by accident.. 'BLOWN ENGINE' freshly written in window chalk across the windshield.. and by accident i mean (a usual for us) look at the cadillac funeral flower car with flames and laugh.. so i stopped to check it out after my physical therapy appointment.. she's either an 84 or 85, appears to be a base model with no real goodies. py little 3.8 auto, blown motor as stated on the windshield.. price, $800.. but you can tell the price was written a while ago, as it's slightly faded, unlike 'blown engine' which was practically still wet when i looked at it.. i definitely think it was mexican owned, as it has an APC sticker on the rear bumper and a walmart exhaust tip lol.. tomorrow i'm going to a flea market to try unloading some unwanted stuff and some of my less-valuable nascar .. so on my way home, i'm going to see if i can pick it up for around 350-450 and just drop a mild 302 in it for the time being

will do.. 450 is my absolute max, since i have to tow it home, trash the motor and trans and get a trans for the 302.. plus it was dark and i couldn't see any body flaws, which i'm sure i'll find tomorrow lol
