Subject: RE: BS: Immutable Truths From: Bill D Date: 21 Sep 05 - 12:28 PM I don't got a tow strap (and technically, it is a GMC Sprint...you know, like Rolls-Royce-Bentley) It was running last year, but the battery is now discharged, but 'probably' good..... and the body has rust....does have 4 almost new tires (like 20 miles on 'em!)...I'd take $300 right now. I thought my kid was gonna drive the thing, but he never got around to learning to drive yet..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Immutable Truths From: Lonesome EJ Date: 21 Sep 05 - 12:59 PM "It's been sittin here so long (31/2 years), and I was gonna get her battery jumped(but I was afraid if it actually started, one of the thrown rods might come through the crankcase), but I finally realized the wife didn't want to drive it because it's a stick (and because the clutch is blown). I believe the fuel pump needs to be replaced(along with the rest of the motor), but other than that, she should run alright (for about 23 minutes). I want 350 for her (if you are a complete idiot), but I'd settle for 300 (90 dollars). If you give me a hand (and the cash up front) we could push it down the drive and start it (or not). How far from here (hopefully you're downhill, and far enough so it's too much trouble to tow it back) do you live ?" |

We drove it around the neighborhood last summer when the kid across the street thought he wanted it, but he spent his money....I haven't tried since, and now I wouldn't trust the dry seals too far...
