i previously posted 4 runner, oops
i want a 4 wheeler, to tool around in the country with my boy
something like a honda recon would be ideal
would need to be at least a 2k value,
person trading would need to figure out how to bring the 4 wheeler, and pick up the transam, because honestly, i lose all future appreciation in this deal.
pics of the car at
'83 transam
click on pictures
hit my thread with questions or email me
i'll get back as soon as i can (usually within a day)
thanks

 

i may be crazy

 

oh, wont you come with me, and walk this land.....
please take my hand............
----------
its a f---in transam for a 4 wheeler, what the f---
2k cash is the price, buyer responsibility

 

will consider 4 stroke off road bikes

 

My buddy sounds interested. I printed off some pics and am bringing them to his work this morning. IIRC he has a 2001 Honda Recon. We live in Madison, WI. The car wouldn't have any trouble driving back here, would it?

 

thanks for your response,
the car is an 83, and has been in storage since 03
i occassionally put the battery in, drive it to the gas station. but that is about it in the last 3 years...
i would assume you would have someone accompanying you on the trip, or are you riding the 4 wheeler here from wisconsin? just kidding
in 02 i took it from memphis to orlando, back to memphis, then to cincinnati..
the sum total of trouble i had was replacing 2 radiator hoses (one in georgia, one outside of nashville) that is what i would estimate the experience to go like, but who knows with a car that hasn't stretched its legs in a while. i would think you would want to go through it, tighten bolts, check belts and hoses. i would change oil, air filter before you got here, top off fluids.

even still, if your bringing a truck to haul the four wheeler, just rent a car hauler from uhaul and haul it back. it may be easier than laying under the car outside macon georgia with a guy staring at you with love and hate across his nuckles.. (he was also on a tractor and petting a pregnant cat - no b.s.)

i could call local uhaul and see what they would charge for a car trailer, and if they allow one way travel, sometimes they want them back, if thats the case you would have to bring with....

or you can always pop the t-tops off and say a prayer to the open road, who knows she may roll out fine

i can get you any other pics you would want, and if your bud is serious i will give my phone number so we can have open dialogue

thanks again for your interest
Bill

 

so whats is with the iron butterfly ball....

 

just thought it a little more creative than bump or ttt.

by the way...

i hope i didn't misrepresent, i just wanted to err on the side of caution, do i believe the car would make it- yes. do i want to promise you that - no.
my wifes 2001 honda accord just broke down outside of memphis so you never know,
what i was really saying is that, old hoses are old hoses, that would be my concern - not the engine or drivetrain.

I've actually got a tandam axle trailer I built... its just that its not registered and as a result I am a bit leary crossing state lines with it. But yea...I am used to mishaps like that. The driver's rear wheel fell off my camaro on the interstate on my way home after buying it.... Anyway.... why don't you e-mail me your phone number and I'll have my buddy call you.

wsbadmf (at) gmail (dot) com

 

i will hit you with a private message with my phone number

i dont know about laws pertaining to registering trailers, so i cant help there.

my zip code if you want to check directions/mileage is 47630

 

did you notice the avatar, dig em was way cool

 

first it was sugar smacks
then super sugar crisp
then super golden crisps if i remember right?
sugar started getting a bad rap, all those kids with ad+d and rotten teeth...
dig em has been around a while,

by the way

i sure as heck do!!!
the little 350 in my 83 will hook up but screams in first, lights em good goin into second and will bark 3rd.

"no man with a good car needs to be justified"

also have parts to go with...
waiting on one guys call, any other takers - he has the recon i am after, so if he gets here first, its all over-
wont find a deal like this often...
clearing out the garage will make the wife happy and the 4 wheeler will make the boy happy, losing the t/a will make daddy sad

well thats my

Looks like a good ride. There was a guy on here wanting to trade a 4 wheeler for a third gen. Look back through some of the threads maybe a few weeks ago, he made a lot of posts on here to trade. See if you can find one of the threads and maybe y'all can make a deal.

Not sure where you and the fellow with the trailer are located but in Texas just go to registration and it is an easy process. Prof of insurance on the car and should be good to go. Registeration fee was not high here either for the boat or jet ski.

 

Wow, this is almost exactly what I have been looking for....too bad you are so far away from where I am (NY)

thanks for the props,

 

Hi, Im The guy that WSBADMF was talking about with a honda recon and may be willing to trade you. Its a 98 Recon TRX250. Its dark green in color and in perfect shape. I have A-ARM guards on it i just installed. The pervious owner bought it new and used it to do minimal yard work. i bought it last summer. Do you have more pictures of your trans am? I didnt get back to you sooner because i work 55 hours a week, and i gotta sleep somewhere. Is there any damage on the car, or rust? how many miles are on the car? does the transmission shift smoothly? Please PM me back, Thanks, Mark

 

i sent email and pvt message

if you dont get let me know, board logged me out???
maybe timed out, was afraid you didnt get it

thanks for looking

 

Mark, what the hell is a pervious owner?

 

pretty funny, didnt catch that,

mark let me know if you think this is plausible for you, and i will let the one i am watching locally go, i'd rather have the recon anyway. but if you know your not interested let me know, i might snag it, its a good deal.

you dont have to commit, just let me know where you are mentally
thanks B

 

He said he is going to call you today. I talked to him on his last break.

 

I'm very interested, sent you an email last night let me know if you didn't get it.

 

i will post here as well captain, will keep you in mind...

i have a guy from wisconsin who says he will come get the car weekend after next.

if he falls through i will contact you

I dont think it burns oil, does lose some, i think, around valve cover gaskets (not a leak-just loss when under compression) (holds good oil psi 40-60)

i have never dynoed or ran in 1/4, so i dont know, a virtual dyno, said around 330 hp. car is geared high (323) but it does sh-t n git!

when it was daily driver i avg. about 15 mpg

car is not perfect, but isnt "project car" either.

have lots of extra parts, hasnt been driven regular since 02, with a tune up, i dont think s.alabama would be a prob...

check my thread to see my reply to the other guy that wanted to drive it to wisconsin.

heater core, blown and bypassed, air works, loses charge, emergency brake cable sticks, carb needs tuned (quadrajets blow my mind, and consequently runs rich - rebuild kit ought to do it) but since car runs rich, plugs would be in order....
i would suggest any car though, that hasnt been driven regular get points, plugs, oil change, filter and tighten down intake, carb, headers, etc. prior to really using - - just good bizness... save yourself major expenses later...

thanks for looking, if the guy i'm dealing with doesnt come through i will holler back- Bill

 

You know it’s all right. it’s ok.
I’ll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
The new york times’ effect on man.

Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
You’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.

 

Sunday morning when we go down to church
See the menfolk standin' in line
I said they come to pray to the Lord
With my little girl, looks so fine
In the evening when the sun is sinkin' low
Everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town, Keep a-searchin' all around
Lookin' for my street corner girl

 

How much would you sell it for???
I will want to drive it back to Colorado if you are selling it.

 

....because the only thing that ring represents these days is the mark that it left in the side of my face
but what can i say?
i love the way she hates-
i love the way she hates me

 

2k is cash price but i am dealing with wsbadmf and mfitazgerald, if something doesnt go there then i owe captnchuck dibs, then you, we should know by this time next week, i'll keep the thread alive until then and let everyone know whatsup

thanks!

 

Hey, I Got the Recon Washed up today, took some pictures and they are being developed as I write this. I Will send you a e-mail tonight with them. I took the a-arm Guards off to clean the dirt off them. We are planning on coming down on sunday. Also Im wondering if you have pictures of the undercarage yet? Let me know, Thanks, Mark.

 

been super busy with work, no days off... havent got car outta garage. i will try to at least stick the camera under the rear and side and front tonight in the garage and see what i get... otherwise i actually dont have any time off until sunday, and i work 10-10,
i should at least get some of the undercarriage as long as the flash works and all that doesnt cause glare etc...
anyhoo i'll give it a shot.

sorry for the delay, been so busy, i forgot it.

 

i sent the pics via email last night, late...
just makin sure you gotem, you can respond via email...
thanks B

 

well guys, MFitzgerald04 didnt make it, he is going to let me know today or tommorow at the latest if he is coming, after i hear from him i will post what i am going to do...
i know you have been waiting patiently capt'n, i appreciate it, and will shoot you an email first off when i know what we are doing on the deal
i will tell you, i had fun getting it out and just taking it once around the block, sounds great! i think it just needs some bolts tightened up, fresh fluids, and a tune up to be great!

 

i wanted some family fun, a boat, a four wheeler, etc.
the car runs strong, captn forgive me, but i am keepin
this is not my first t/a, wont be my last
sorry guys, puttin tags on it and goin to put the rubber to the road

close thread

captn' by the way, if i was cool with 650 miles it would be good, but has been in storage, probably all good, but i am not the kind of guy that would be cool with sendin you out on a wing and a prayer....

contact me in a few months and i'll let you know how she runs after i stretch her legs for a while

peace out
B
