ok, since we'll likely be moving back to VA in a few months, I'd like to not have to trip over this car for a while. Some of you saw it at Evan's place last year when I bought it, I will not charge extra for the custom cane dents on the hood. :wink: I don't really expect any of you to be interested, but I figured I'd put it up here.
It's the one in the foreground:
The good:
Drove it back from MD, survived as a daily driver for 6 mo
Compression test recently done-- 150, 150, 140, 160
Changed oil now and then, changed about half the coolant
NewER fuel filter, alternator, oil pump, belts
Runs pretty good over 3.5k RPMs
Almost all of the gauges work! In fact, so do locks and other such things
No odd vibrations, brakes, steering, all decent
It's driveable. I still drive it to work sometimes and could drive it to VA
Has a decent set of sport seats in it that I pulled from my track car
The bad:
Runs poorly until warmed up
Runs poorly under 3.5k RPMs with anything over half throttle
Temp gauge crapped out
Suspension pretty tired
Burns/leaks some oil
240k some miles (odo works, I'm just too lazy to go look)
A bit rusty underneath to make a great track car, but not horrible
I THINK the running problems are due to either the low fuel pressure, the sloppy distributor's somewhat randomly dynamic timing, or both. All cyls are firing, and it actually runs in closed loop (02 sensor works), but it doesn't pass emissions.
$500, interesting or lower offers considered
