After 24 years...

[Josh]

I found a coupe in my neighborhood. It is complete for the most part. It sure is hammered, after 24 years of sitting in a back yard the elements took it's toll. BUT what amazed me is that it does run, I went thru everything on the engine and all looked good. I tried it and nothing. Checked the timing and found that the chain jumped, so I realigned the chain and gave it another shot and bingo. It ran for a few seconds then jumped timing again. Anyways if anyone is interested in any parts besides the engine let me know. To me there is nothing much worth salvaging but who knows. Heck if anyone wants the whole car after I take the engine you can have it. You can see pictures of it in the "new photos" link.

Josh, don't sell.  Drive it.  It's looking fine the way it is.
The tires/rims look excellent, btw.

Hahahahaha. I actually thought about doing that just for fun but around here if
your car looks like that the police will be after you in a heartbeat. The car is such a pile, BUT being that I got it for free you can't go wrong.
