well i'm lookin at a truck tomro
900 obo so its lookin pretty good!
wish me luck
little dilema tho...........
i know a guy whose sellin a mid 80's volvo 760 with a blown motor for 500 and another guy who is sellin a mid 80's lincoln for 500
so i take the 5.0 outta the lincoln and drop it into the volvo and sell it for 5000...........not to mention have some fun makin smoke shows before i sell it..........
then i take that money and go all out on the conversion!
soooooo tempting and the whole project would cost around 2000 including both cars!
1 laser rs....sold
the only way it was doin 12's in a quarter mile was being dropped off a 1320 foot  cliff

theres also a vw golf gti with performance cams and internals and shit got 10:1 compression...2.5 exhaust with header and muffler ...but the ignition is so f'ed cause it got jacked and then was recovered.....the interior is all f'ed from them rippin out the stereo....but they were stupid enough to leave the nice 5 star rims and new tread on it
so basically your gettin a body with a dope engine and wheels and tranny/clutch...everything else need replacing pretty much..but the guy only wants 800 bucks
alotta work but you could sell for alot more after its fixed
