It's Gumby's fault.

5ohbird,
Welcome to the board!  That's a very nice looking car, and you got a very good deal for $450 if it's a runner.  I like the 16" snowflakes, too.  I've got a set on my '83 Cougar, with 55's on the front and 50's on the rear (just a stock V6, though).

Holy good god  its my 88 reincarnated. With the exception of the 5.0. Looks good for $450. Wish I could find another one for that price.

it needed a few things.

i did the front brakes with new pads, and turned the rotors. new shocks on the rear, and................A-friigin-C is working!! all i did was pull a vacuum on it for about 30 min, charged it with r134a, and froze my arse off on the way home.

out of the past 5-6 cars ive owned, none had working ac.
