I'd want to see this Drivers Window that needs replacing first. LOL, maybe that whole side is smashed up??

What's there to talk you out of? It's a
Mustang. Should talk itself out of anyone buying it. :D

If I had the mechanical skills to do major work on cars I'd be buying weird old vehicles on craigslist every damn day.

Side glass is $198.xx installed. Clutches are cheap, OEM spec is only ~$110, far better for not a whole lot more.

I wish it had pictures of a horrible interior and shitty paint and stuff....then I'd stop thinking about it.

You could part it out for 2k + Guy is a mark wanting to be taken. 800 is a steal. Even if it has a bunch of surprises. If it fires up and starts and has decent compression I would buy it.

Bring a leak down tester just in case and do a coolant pressure test just in case while your at it.

If you dont want it ill take it :p


btw where is that car being held? Does it have immigration problems? That fence!

YOU'RE NOT HELPING!


.....I called and left a voicemail.


And I'm off tomorrow.


I can't tow it on a real trailer, though...uhaul car trailer is 2210lbs empty and I have a 5k tow rating. A dolly is only 750lbs, but I'm not sure if that's advisable.

Whats the difference between a hoarder and a collector?

a collector has a place to put his shit lol

I came across a similar deal last year. Never got around to starting project and I parted it out making 6 times what I had in it.

Probably a tow yard. My guess is the driver's side window was busted out and the car was stolen, recovered, owner collected insurance and now they are looking to unload the car. Joyride destroyed the transmission.

:biggrin:

Yeah, I'm running out of room.

The hole is where my roommate's car goes. :(

I should just buy a house, but I'm not sure where I'll be working by the end of summer so I want to hold off.

Heh, just bought the truck....if I were to sell anything it'd be the CTS-V, but I do like having a 4-door car that doesn't suck for long drives.

If you live in the southwest and aren't on Craigslist everyday you are doing a disservice to yourself.
