Wow, something I thought I'd never be sending to this list.

Ok so this is what I've got to get rid of.

The first is my spare engine. I've got a 3.0, it's been sitting for a
couple years now, Had about 135K miles on it before it was pulled. It was
in good running condition, but I'm sure it needs to be flushed, new plugs,
etc by now. I only want $300 for the engine, but you need to come get it.

The second is my SHO. I want $300 for the car too. 1991, decent amount of
rust on the beat up body, transmission is nice and strong...that's about it
for the good stuff. I'll list everything all nice like after I finish this
detailed description. It's got a flat on the set of wheels I'm selling it
with which also bald tires, if you want the OZs with brand new GForces on
them toss me another $300. What can I say, I never skimp on the rubber.
Now all the things wrong with the car. Suspension is shot in the back,
springs sag, struts are DEAD, the front is old, but not dead. Eibachs in
the front...like that really matters though. Hood is closed with hood pins
(hit some deer's over a year ago), there is a coolant leak, most likely the
radiator, but it seems like the reservoir doesn't hold fluid either. The
ABS is pretty much useless, light's on most of the time. The Charging light
is ALWAYS on, but there's no charging problem I can find in the system.
Been on since hitting the deer's. Alignments off, don't know why. Ok now
the really bad parts of the car. The clutch is on it's way out, big time,
it's been slipping bad for about 4 months. It's drivable, but if you floor
it, the clutch just slips. The engine is also on it's way out. It shudders
at idle and will sometimes stall itself out., it's like the engine threw
something internal. It's got some extras on it too, but not much. It has a
77mm Pro Flow MAF, paid $350 used, was $700 brand new, all metal NOT
plastic, big barrel K&N filter on it. I've also put subframe connectors on
it, but you can't really remove that. I've got a home made strut tower
brace for it too, but it doesn't fit with the stock hood. You could always
drive it without a hood though.......Oh and no stereo at all, nothing, no
speakers, no head unit, nada. But it's not like you'd buy this car for the
stereo anyway. Oh yeah, the front bumper is a different color. The
windshield has a crack in it, goes from left to right, but doesn't reach ALL
the way, so it's still legal. Inside is dirty.

Ok so here goes.

Good:
Transmission has no problems at all.
77mm Pro Flow MAF
Subframe connectors

Bad:
Engine go bye bye soon.
Clutch follows engine.
Suspension is dead.
Coolant leak.
Hood closes with pins.
Cracked windshield.
Dirty Interior.

This would make an ok parts car more than a fixer-upper. Still I only want
$300 for it. If you take the engine with it too, I'll give both of them to
you for $500, and if you want the OZ wheels on top of all that I'll throw
those in for another $200.

If you want to check all this crap out, just let me know. We can set up a
time to check it out, which will be pretty much anytime since I work at home
most of the time.

So please help me out, I need to get rid of this stuff. Since the price is
so insanely cheap, I'd really rather not haggle over it so I'm firm on what
I'm asking. But I'm still a nice guy in most respects, so I'm open to
suggestions or trades (like Crown Vic parts).

P.S...In other news, I won't be leaving the list, and I will be getting
another SHO, just not until I've got enough money to buy and build one.
It's off to a used taxi for me. Can't argue with a $500 '97 Crown Vic.
It's got problems too, just not as many as the SHO, and they're easier and
cheaper problems to fix.
