scott says he is really busy, he'll find some time over the next few days to determine if the engine / trans is road worthy.
tires and batt are toast but hes not reallly sure / cant remember what all he needs to list thats wrong.

The car is not my taste, but for $1000 if it drives, its a good deal.  You can really respect all the work that went into it.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Okay, I haven't put much thought in the car lately... After talking with Jcassity a couple hours ago and telling him there was a vacuum leak, I realized I was incorrect, but in fact the main reason I stopped driving it was the catalytic converter became clogged, Besides that there was a power steering fluid leak from one of the hoses.  The car itself is rather solid, and i do have quite a few extra parts that all go with the car... Been a couple years since the car has had any street time
