Title: Went to look at 2 birds today

Car 1
1983 baseline bird V6. Includes rust, bondo, leaky carb, heater core on the way out, and a douchebag seller. His ad states $675. When I get there he wants $750. I offered $500 and that was probably a gift offer. He said no. Here's a link to the CL ad

Car 2.
85 bird v6. Abandoned at a friends shop in 2011. Price, free.  Note the uncracked dash and almost perfect outer window seals.

Lol I figure I'll try to see if I can get him to throw me a few bucks to cover the fuel to get it. If I want to get it on the road I'll most likely have to cover the fees to apply for a mechanics lien on the car to get a clean title. Option 2 is that it becomes a parts car.

Car looks solid enough to take Option 1.  From appearance it doesn't look like it would take much to make it a driver.

The story is that is was brought in for a miss in the engine and the people never came back.

that seems to be a reasonable short story..

the long one is prob this.....  (IS THE MISS GONE?)

mech had no manuals on the car and charged way beyond what was reasonable for troubleshooting.
the owners couldn't come up with the $

so,, he goes to the courthouse and puts a mech lean on it

how much is the mech lean?

Update on the 85. My buddy talked to the owner today. The owner found the title and is dropping it off at the shop. As soon as the title is there I can haul it away....I'll keep everyone updated.

Actually, I know a guy with a very low mileage 81 dmc. However, I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

Edit: I'll save ya the faded floral print seat covers if you'd like lol.
