I know I was all excited about the car when I posted this, but it ended up falling through... the car had way bad tires which added up to over $100 just to get it home, and then the guy said, "oh I need to charge sales tax"... that put it a hair over $700... So I ended up not getting the car...

Until yesterday, the guy called up and says he has to get rid of it now. He is 47 miles away from me. He said he'll drop it down to $400 and take payments on it. I talked him into trailering it down to me for $425, $225 on delivery, and $200 in two weeks. Do you guys think this is a better deal?

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

got the car home today. A couple of things wrong that are bothering me...

Really loud rod knock at higher rpm's only.
Hood has damage.
old.....old tires.
Exhaust leaks... everywhere.
No headliner.
outta oil, like bad.

I went to pop the hood and couldnt get it open. Force it open, and the hinges are broken(not by me). Check the oil and it doesn't even register on the dip stick. I'm guessing 3 quarts or more low. oh and the old tv cable is off.

Car runs strong, after a quick zip tie, shifts good and hard, and is loud. Its gonna take me longer then I hopped to get it on the road.
