I am thinking of getting an fb here locally and selling the fc for emission reasons. I was just wondering what the first gen section thinks of this car and the price.











I am ready to restore it. I was just going to see if anyone could see anything in the pictures that I wouldn't know to look for. He claims the compression is over 100 on both rotors and that the car will start and run it just needs tires. Price is $600.

 

that's mad cheap for a running FB..everything look's in order.

:AA:

 

yes get it. just make sure he starts it to prove it runs before u pay him.

 

$600! Very good price!

 

Get both cars. Tell him your doing him a favor by hauling them away for him.

 

Ha, I used to live in Lakeside Apartments in Newnan when I had my turbo FC. If it runs, I would get it--why not? $500 for a runing car that is not a rust bucket is a good deal.

 

I would buy it . $600 is a good deal if it is complete . running or not.

 

take it

 

Lol. I'm sure he'll take that well.

My sister babysits for a guy in those apts.

He hasn't called me back yet but I'm going to try and pick it up this weekend. I'd rather have a car that is emissions exempt instead of having to register my fc in AL. Speaking of that, if nothing else is removed, shouldn't an fc pass emissions with a functioning cat?

 

Drive it before you buy it. But everyone should own a 1st-gen.

 

check for rust... you dont know where a car has ben....

if its not rusted out GET IT

and yes if your fc is stock and every thing is working it should pass emissions

 

Bet you that paint will clean up nicely. First gen paint seems to be very hardy. Especially S3 models.

 

Where are good places to check for rust and are there any other problems I should look for?

 

under the storage bins. also look at the area under the battery. look in the spare tire well. take a flashlight with u.
