Re: eBay listing, not mine.

Well, I drove to LA today to look at it because the guy said that it runs great and in good shape . He said that he has no $$ and just needs to sell something and he has quite a few things for sale. For the price I figured that I could not loose so I rented a large car trailer and drove 5 hours one way there.

It ends up not running very well and has a knock in the engine when you rev it up. Could be wrist pin? The wiring is in very bad shape and leaks oil from many places.

Looks as if it has been ridden hard and never put away. Anyway I told him thanks but no thanks.

I really only wanted it for the engine and trans. I was going to sell the rest. But it was not worth my time.

So today I drove around 660 miles total, spent around $250 in fuel and trailer rental. Lesson learned I guess. If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is.

Just thought that I would update everyone on the post.
