Somebody near MD buy this car!

My brother showed this thing to me last night- I can't believe how nice of shape this car is in. It's just begging to be hot rodded. If I was in a situation to have another car right now I would totally buy this thing and throw a 351 in there.

At any rate someone needs to rescue it!

The car is in great shape. But 1,000 for a 6 cyl is a bit much for me. Besides, I have too many projects as it is. :(

Hey 5.0willgo I'll send you the money. Buy it and put a 39 cent stamp on it and stuff it in the mail box. They'll ship it to me right? :giggle:

You want it bad enough, pay the guy for the car and I'll pick it up and drop it off at Cat Jam. You pay for gas. I don't know how I'd drive a non-tagged, non-insured car and not get caught though.

!  I'd pay $1000 for that car.  Presuming it's all sheet metal under that shiny paint.  You just don't see cars that solid around anymore.  Especially an '84!  Regrettably, though, I don't have the funds.

An '84 3.8L car is not capable of that.  Unless maybe they are mounted police.  But that's only in Canada and for Riot Control.

Plan B: Make sure you have more gas than the police.  ;)

That thing has the backup light in the middle of the lense. My friend spend a year and a half looking for one to fix his car.

That thing is spotless from the pics he has posted.

Ok, this rescue business is how we ended up with 5 cats, real cats, of the feline persuasion.

Anyway, is there really anyone here that would buy this car at Cat Jam for $1K?

He's now sunk money into it and wants $1.5K.

Would anyone here really pay $1K at Cat Jam this year, like in one week, for a car they haven't seen until payment is due?

Actually there is a way to drive a unregistered, uninsured vehicle from point A to point B...I did it when I bought my TC. Go to the state police office, for a couple bucks they give you this tag to put up in your window so you can make a one way trip in a car youve bought.

Now, if you were going across more than one state, I dunno.

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.

...that just came off eBay with possibly a shiny new paint job that could be hiding anything?

Are you hinting that "If it looks too good to be true...."?

Here's the completed eBay listing.
Went for $300 ($400 with "processing fee").
