the body panels and interior are in decent shape. it would need to be repainted though. i put $3000 in to the engine about 2.5 years back but its been sitting for a year or so. the tranny was slipping a little between shifts from the added power but still ran strong. you can have the entire car for $1500 because i really need to get it off my fathers property(i dont have room) the price is of course negotiable but if its too low, I would just have to wait a little bit for some other offers to come in. let me know what you think. i just started it up today and she ran great. only thing that seemed a little weird was that anytime I stepped on the brakes or turned on lights the engine would die. The battery has been dead for sometime so it was probably that which was putting too big of a load on the engine. I also took some pics which I can email anyone

everyone has been pmed/emailed back. If i missed you let me know. Thanks guys

pmed ya!
Hey, can you PM me an address or something, so I can see how far from Staten Island Ringwood is?
Also, have any idea where I can find the specs for that engine? Where its power bands are, how big of a cam is in it, things like that?
Mostly i'd like to come see it, if the drive isn't too horrible.
PM me
Thanks

I suggest you buy a new battery, make sure the engine will stay running, thats a scary thing to read when you want to buy an engine, hearing that it dies when you turn the lights on or hit the brakes.
Maybe thats me though, someone who doesnt know a ton about engine, so problems like that make me weary.
