Zrush Posted March 24, 2004 Share #2 Posted March 24, 2004 The guy is joking right? Looks like there was a fire in engine bay. Vicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ManyZs Posted March 24, 2004 Share #3 Posted March 24, 2004 Engine bay looks to have been painted with a brush and the paint is falling off, I think that's why it looks like it burned.But that roof and hatch is what would scare me away.... what a POS that is. If the roof and hatch have rusted through like that, what's the underside look like??:cross-eye :sick: He'd be lucky to sell that for more than 500 bucks....I'd be afraid to twist the chassis putting it on a trailer with a roof that looks like that, car is liable to end up bent in a V.....

MikeW Posted March 24, 2004 Share #4 Posted March 24, 2004 Perhaps the missing fenders and steering rack position is throwing me off but something about the front end doesn't look straight ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerRob Posted March 25, 2004 Share #5 Posted March 25, 2004 The only things missing from that car is a full grown pine tree growing up through the engine bay and a family of opossum living in it!Gees...I'd be embarrassed to let anyone SEE this heap.

2ManyZs Posted March 25, 2004 Share #6 Posted March 25, 2004 This POS has a 2500 starting bid, and the car is listed right below it with a 2500 Buy It Now, wonder which one will sell first... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2469632865&category=6187 Man, some people make you wonder about the gene pool huh?

St.stephen Posted March 25, 2004 Share #8 Posted March 25, 2004 you guys are hilarious. quit focusing on one thing and look at the sum of the whole equation. lets start with the motor.Engine rebuilt with new bearings, piston, rings, valves and valve springs. piston kit out of VB 499.99Main bearings 100.00rod bearings 100.00valve springs 90.00valves - 7.95 X 6 (47.70) intake9.95 X 6 (59.70) exhaustyou're at a grand right there in just those parts for the motor. To finish the rest of the motor, you still need gaskets, take into consideration any machine work that had to be done, oil pump, water pump, pickup screen, timing chain kit, etc, etc. and the guy atleast did the fenders and hood as well as rebuilt the transmission. While some of you may balk at his price and call the car a POS, this is something I wouldn't walk away from. For 2500.00 you could potentially walk away with a squeeky clean fresh motor and trans ready for the next project. If the motor and trans work was done right, its well worth the money. As for the car itself, come on guys.....you have seen the pictures. I have owned worse than that :classic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun_in_my_z Posted March 25, 2004 Share #9 Posted March 25, 2004 it isnt much worse then the one im restoring!atleast that one already has a rebuilt engine i got to do that still.around here with the moisture we have your lucky to have a car left at all.(pics of my cars in profile) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ManyZs Posted March 25, 2004 Share #10 Posted March 25, 2004 For the same price, I'll take the driveable car that might need minor work....It could take almost your initial investment in the car just to get the chassis to where it would support the weight of the rebuilt engine, plus, you might have to buy another parts car to "donate" it's roof to the cause.With the condition that roof is in, and not knowing how long that car may have sat out in the weather like that, the chassis could end up looking like your yellow car Kevin, and we all know what happened with that one don't we?:devious: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.stephen Posted March 25, 2004 Share #12 Posted March 25, 2004 I'd roll that thing into a corner of the shop until I am skilled enough to know old school lead filling techniques and I have an english wheel, sheet metal brake, etc brewing in the garage. that car is a perfect excuse to buy more tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
