It has a good Tail light. One good power side mirrow. and the Rear I am going to cut off to make a mold for speaker pods. It might have some more good parts once I get it cleaned up where I can see it good.


Anyone want to buy that wheel? If I can get the pic to load.

I almost brought home an '80 that was pretty effed up... the body had a few small holes in it from rust...

The guy who had it used to freakin pull his junk cars around with it hahaha....

So... one rotor blew, but he kept on using it.. he's like "yeah them sunzabitches ken rev fer ever!" man that guy kills me.

Anyway, on top of all that, groundhogs had gotten into the engine and chewed up al the wires.

Strange enough, the body really had no dents, but alas, he got rid of it already.

The rear glass panels are intact, as is the sunroof. For some reason I admire people that give these cars a good home, no matter how shitty.

When I first seen the car I thought wow a good glass sunroof. Wish it was factory. It is not. I will be happy to sell it if someone wants it.

The bad part is the guy bought it looking great. But it did not have a title. He got it for the engine. Then used the front clip to repair another. Used an axle to make an axle puller one day, and His son rolled the car over for some reason and broke the pass door and glass.

for some sick reason, i like that car. it reminds me of an 85 gs i had. i found it in a guy's back yard and it gave me (after much work not nearly as bad as those pics you posted hades12a) a year of service. a control arm eventually rotted off and the other wheel well almost seperated and the car was junk. my welds held for as long as i needed. i stripped the car and gave the shell away.

I clicked on this with the thought of posting my 2nd parts car, but that one almost started... and I towed it over with a tow strap. It was beat up (litterally) with a sledge. But the interior was ok, and the engine parts were good, and suspension tooo... I think the rear end is still good.


Oh, here's the topper- We filed bankruptcy, gave up the house, and that car is still in the back- the only thing that is on it is the rear end!!

She wasn't as good looking as some of those 7's you guys brought home, but she was good in bed.
