its a 92 sc 5 speed, the odo stopped working at 101k and hes had it for two months. crashed on drivers fender

pros: new paint, new exhaust from the headers back, 10% pulley, he said it was pulling 15lbs of boost, no rust, autometer gauges.

cons: HE CANT FIND THE TITTLE :eek:, but says he'll do a transfer or someting ??, tranny grinds into 2nd, he says when he crashed it , the radiator hose popped off and he saw a lot of smoke from the pipes, says oil is starting to mix with coolant, hasn't started it in two months..

for $600 should i go look at it , or do i keep my POS.

Lets see. crashed, and needs HGs. Sounds like a parts car to me. Your car cannot be in worse shape can it?

I found a 89 sc 5sp with 150k on a local buy here pay here lot nothing wrong except needing suspension for $900. Wife won't let me have 3 t-birds and I can't let my baby go. Keep looking you can find one for about a grand pretty easily and in good shape. These cars are cheap to buy but hard to find. Keep your eyes open.

If you got room offer him 400 and part it out you can easily make more than that off it

i would buy it just to part it but i got no room, i just talked to him and he might keep it so we could do some meetings ;)

Here in Fla he can go to the local tag office or a AAA office and get a duplicate title if the car was registered in his name. If it wasnt registered in his name or is unwilling to do this I wouldnt mess with the car. In Florida its almost impossable to get a car that you dont own unless you have a preexisting lean on it. Otherwise its a parts car.

Grab the supercharger and plenum if he's going to junk it even the early style goes for a couple of hundred on ebay, and try to grab the thermostat housing, always good to have a spare.
