I was going to go look at this car this afternoon but we are in the
midst of a nasty storm likely to continue into tomorrow. If it lets up
some I might go there
The car apparently died somehow and is sitting in the street by a
friend's house 3 blocks from the owner's residence, with a battery that
only clicks the starter... She really wants it gone. I don't have the
urge to go there today in the midst of tstorms and ternaders and such,
so will probably go tomorrow. I don't know why she isn't driving it,
I'm wondering if the head cracked or something and blew up the coolant
tank, or it cracked and the coolant ran out or what. I should pull the
tank out of the old TD and put it in, fill it up, start the car and
drive it to see what the story is? Or just assume it is bad and beat her
down on the price that way, load it on the trailer, then fool with it later.

Dude. Go see this guy with $1000 cash and a trailer. If it needs a timing chain
that’s not a big deal if it’s still running. The rest of the stuff is all
rinky-dink minor things.
Really. This would be a really nice driver or $3k-$4k flip if it’s as clean as
it looks.

Seller's description…
THIS IS A PROJECT CAR. THIS IS A CLASSIC CAR. PLEASE ONLY SEND RESPECTABLE
OFFERS. the interior and exterior are so gorgeous and there has been many
repairs but i don't have the time or knowledge to fix the issues remaining.
backstory: I traded cars with someone who did not disclose all the things that
need work. Here are The issues I've found: the Timing belt needs to be
tightened, coolant fluid container seems to have a craxk but I'm not sure.
needs new brakes soon, odometer is reading 10 miles wrong, lights in the back
don't work or in the dash, turn signals don't work in the dash or in front or
back of car ( this might be just a fuse issue) the speakers might be blown but
it also might just need a new radio. Seems to have trouble going over 40 but
its more of a city car anyway. Again i don't know much about it so I am selling
this for someone to have fun working on or for parts. Interested in trades for
small car or crossover in working condition.
