Re: Gonna meet the crusher

part it out and make some money instead of sending it to the crusher. At least it would help someone out looking for hard to find parts

Re: Gonna meet the crusher

Post this in the for sale section. And don't part it out. This is an early car that needs to be saved.

in October of last year I paid $500 for a rust free 89 RS w/305 TBI that I have rebuilt/restored. It had all of the pieces

Again, $500 and rust free and it ran but has since been completly rebuilt

Re: Gonna meet the crusher

800 is reasonable for a car that is solid and will run

800 is better, but you would rather take ~250 from the crusher than an offer like 500 from someone that would fix it and enjoy it?...

Pictures would help your cause immensely.. If it was a nice looking/running car, then 1200 probably wouldn't be an issue....

Re: Gonna meet the crusher

If you lived closer to me, you bet, but unfortunately I am in Nebraska, and have no way of getting it.

Do we get to see picture's of the car? That might help people decide if they want to buy it. Another one bites the dust...

Re: Gonna meet the crusher

Well if you junk it, try and take off a lot of the good parts. The body looks pretty straight.
I wish I lived closer, I would make a reasonable offer!

Re: Gonna meet the crusher

If I lived closer I too would already have it on the trailer, but alas I also live in Nebraska and Wisconsin is a pretty long drive. But it looks pretty solid. What size engine is in it and what tranny is it paired with? That would help get the offers flowing as well.

Those are turbocast rims. If they are 15 inch, someone will pay you big money for them - especially the Knightrider crowd.

Re: Gonna meet the crusher
