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.

Re: Gonna meet the crusher
The car is actually extremely solid but im moving and dont have the space so selling it or junking it are the only choices.

Re: Gonna meet the crusher
so youll give it to the crusher for 300.00 in scrap IF THAT, instead of selling it to somebody for a real price. makes alot of sense

Re: Gonna meet the crusher
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.

Re: Gonna meet the crusher
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
Needs a little TLC but its not bad. Like I said, if I was closer to you I would make you an offer. I hope you have good luck getting it sold.

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.

Re: Gonna meet the crusher
come on say it with me: Do not junk !!!!!!!! ,Do not junk !!!!!!!!, Do not junk !!!!!!!!, Do not junk !!!!!!!!, Do not junk !!!!!!!! ,Do not junk !!!!!!!!
its in too close to salvageable to be junk and if it runs and can be driven away the I say that $600 is a good price.

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
dude, you will loose money crushing it without a doubt, worth 350 tops. you can sell it for way more than scrap prices, scrap is for cars that are too far gone, this car is not.
