Holy crap I typed this out and hit refresh instead of back and needless to say it disappeared.



Here's the short version of what I was going to say--



The Seven I was talking about in an earlier post is STILL for sale. So after reading about engine swaps, I thought, me and my dad can do this. Who cares if we don't have rotory or hardcore engine experience? What better place to start? Anywho, I went to drive it today...she left the interior light on the night before and the battery was so dead it couldn't be jumped off. Is that a bad omen?



Here are some pics...tell me what you think...it has 168K miles and the price is now $1200 (was $2K). I got $950 and $650 on Kelley Blue Book for good and fair, respectively.

what year is that car? my 1985 looked identical, it was a great car!

vosko 03-24-2003 07:15 PM

i wouldn't pay over $500 for that personally

Dysfnctnl85 03-24-2003 08:35 PM

That's what I was going to offer, I mean, I know they won't accept anything too low...



Wow, my high school economics class has real-world applications...if only math teachers could see this...

Anyone else?

my '84 cost me $600, running strong, smoking a little now but still running, alot of oxidation, but no rust.



I wouldn't pay more than $550-$600 for that GS, Test drive it first, see how she runs.



if you want to see pics of mine there's a link in my signature

i have about $700 in my 83, it was $350 to buy it and it needed some work, i'd say its about as nice as that 84 now (without the sunroof rust)

I don't think that I was hurt in my deal to acquire 2 1983's. I traded the man an 88 Ford F-150 that I had $1400 invested into it. The thing was that I didn't trust the truck to drive very far distances. The one 83 is in good shape and runs strong. The other is supposed to run and has no title, but that can be fixed after time.

I paid $3,000 US for my 1985 GSL-SE, w/ rims tho.
