I found a super clean GSL with 65k original on a blown engine. The kid has a spare engine at a shop that he claims still has good compression.

He wants $500 for the car plus engine. The car is super clean for a '87 gsl.

It's Maroon with only minimal rust on the sunroof lid. Thats it. Other than that is is extremely clean.

Problem is my fiance doesnt want me to get it.

What to do??? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

Shoot the fiance'. Get the car.

vosko 04-27-2003 03:00 PM

tell him $500 with spare engine

Fd3BOOST 04-27-2003 03:18 PM

Yea vosko that the price. A engine with no compression that is installed plus a good engine (supposibly good) All for $500.



what do you think?

Im trying to talk her into it.

UniqueTII 04-27-2003 03:35 PM

You mean GXL?

ROTARYROCKET7 04-27-2003 04:04 PM

87 gsl? i think its a gxl lol for $500 thats good

9BASE3 04-27-2003 04:05 PM

****... For 500 rims and tires is good!!!

j9fd3s 04-27-2003 04:33 PM

dude, its an fc you could resell it for like 1500 out here, i dont think you can loose on that one. plus it would make an excellent beater

Fd3BOOST 04-27-2003 04:43 PM

Yea it maybe a gxl, I couldnt tell you the diff. I know it was a G?? .

I wish I had my camera with me. It was really surisingly clean in and out.

Fd3BOOST 04-27-2003 04:44 PM

Wait a min..

Fd3BOOST 04-27-2003 04:45 PM

Actually I was thinking about it Jon, I think that this car is flooded also. It sounded like it had compression when he tried to turn it over. The guy that sold it to this kid knows **** about rotories and told the kid that it had a bad cylinder https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif I got the ok from my fiance so I think im gonna run over there with a compression tester and see what is up with it.

That would mean I would get the car and the extra engine for $500 . Then I could pull apart the spare, port it and sell that then sell this FC and make some cash on the deal.

The only other thing i see that the car needs is two front tires and the two front turn signals were missing.



Anyone have trick for starting a flooded FC? Should be that same as if my car flooded right?
