Seems like it might be harder on an old car like that. You could always just rip out the lock cylinder and hardwire a start button. :v:

MY CAR WAS BABIED but it has a salvage title and the block is cracked.

DON'T BULLSHIT ME WITH YOUR LOWBALL $6,000 OFFERS for my non-running, salvage titled, 8 year old 350Z with a cracked block.

I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT SINCE I DON'T HAVE A JOB BUT IT WILL ONLY BE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED to replace my engine

I'm tempted to call him and offer him $1,500 cash.

Jesus. I want some of the drugs this guy is smoking.

Ain't no naturally aspirated 302 on Earth making 500hp.

Is it even making half of that with a cam? Especially since it sounds like he didn't do anything with the heads or intake to match? :v:

God I hate it when people post poo poo up for $1 when they really mean "make me an offer".

...or when they put the actual price (usually way too high) in the body.

Let me get this straight. They took out the 4.6L, put in a 5.0L and a carb? I fail to see that they could make cheaper power with buying a new engine and stuff. Let alone nothing ever working in the dash again.

Hey, some people just like working really hard for less than 200 wheel horsepower ok :colbert:

Yeah, but typically they buy Hondas.

Somehow I knew this was coming. Thanks for being predictable, trouser chili! :v:

Also I think all the Hondas in the world have been parted out or crashed at this point, so you have to find something else now.

\/\/ I hadn't considered that... I live in California and have basically never seen rust on a car, and this car is in Palm Springs, the most deserted of deserts. Could have come from somewhere snowy thouh, so definitely a good point!!!

You mean the Pac-Man Operators? Pac-Man always eats the bigger number. Any 3rd grader knows that.

I'd love to see the Pac-Man analogy used on a class of modern third graders and see if it yields anything other than a sea of perplexed faces :v:

I'm not even much of a fan of the early Vettes and I literally had trouble breathing while looking at that.

That is seriously a travesty. Even in 1972 C1s were getting rarer.

That height can't be stock can it? The front end looks like it could be used to mow the lawn it is on.

I think the Si model sat a bit lower than others of the same year, and that might be really long grass.

Given the amount of dumb mods he listed it's very likely there's even more he's not talking about (or that have been removed), or the car is just plain thrashed and those pictures are five years old.

Either way I would expect the engine to sound like an old diesel pickup when you start it.

It's actually a fair price. The truck looks reasonably taken care of and they are actually pretty good trucks. I sold my 88 4x4 Isuzu P'up with a knocking motor for $1200 in under a few days.

Well maybe it is. No one seems to have noticed the poster's odd pluralization, which is why I posted it.
