Nothing on the car, it should go at that price!!!!
I have turned a bunch of cars. I usually buy body damaged good runners and make them pretty. Just be carefull on the title transfer. As a private party you can get screwed. I sold a car to a guy that never titled it. He got a bunch of parking tickets and they all came to me. Now when I buy a car I am ging to flip, I dont title the car in my name. When I sell it, I go down to the dmv with the buyer and pay my title/licensing fee and then sign over the car and the buyer pays his part. I never get a title in my name but I make money and I know I am clear of any future problems.

I used to have one. Not bad cars, but the EFI setup is junk.

Theres a market for them, kinda a niche market, but if its as immaculate as you say it is, itll get bought.

Looks like its a go, It needs a timing chain for the bastard balance shafts ( i hate those, possibly dumbest thing ever added to a car ) about $200 investment towards engine in getting it back in great shape and i got a temporary DD.

thnx for the replies.
