My point actually was all the mechanical stuff that was cobbed together LOL. I found the following:
 
-collapsed upper radiator hose because its being crushed into the alternator
-"AC needs repaired" despite a TOTAL lack of a/c componentry
-heatercore disconnected, hose looped around with some ghetto-looking fitting
-air pump not there but air pump hose stuff there and collapsed/bent
-fan shroud CUT up to accomodate bigger fan :hick: :rollin: 
-the belt routing of course....(why is the PS pump up there haha)
-and the typcal random wires around doing nothing and a friggin Edelbrock sticker smacked on the firewall standing out like a sore thumb
 
Oh well. Hardly beyond repair...body seems to be in good shape I suppose. I think it would be fun to drive as a beater/DD!! :hick:

Just because you can install it on your car doesn't mean you should.

I didn't notice half of what you mentioned....I hardly made it past the body condition and the v-belt carb motor and lost interest...

Same applies to clothes. Just because they made that in your size doesnt mean you shold wear it. Bad part is, most of them dont realize that they really wear 2 sizes bigger.

I agree with V8Demon. Too much work to get it were I want it

9 times out of 10 when i see a car factory equipped with an EEC , only to find a carb motor, I see someone with no clue about electricity.


the car looks ok,, the hood is vomit, the rest is pretty much a decent start.

Judging by the small block of wood behind the front tire in the second picture I would say e brake is shot....

and just for the record,, that car starting price might be ok but luck of the draw might get 1500 if he's got the aces.

I would drive that, if I didn't need a heater and emissions. I like how the motor is a 95 but appears to be carb's.

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.

Switch the hood and wheels and a little maintenance i think it'd be just fine for a while.
