3.3L v-6 I think, 157,000 miles. It is red with gray cloth. New tires, brakes, exhaust. It has some rust but nothing major, the headliner came down so it has been stapled. It was my aunts car since new, she sold it to her daughter, then I bought it for my Mother and she no longer wants it, so I am stuck with it. It has a clean clear Iowa title in my name. Oh, it needs a stereo too. Jesse

(I guess this is what i get for going the speed limit, wearing a seatbelt and, enjoying music at a reasonable volume)

The FD was impounded b/c i still owed $ on a ticket form 6 months ago that i wasnt made aware of by the state- so the officer took my liscence away on the spot. He was very angry with me, even though for once i was very cooperatve and polite with him. Sum other guy had to pickup FD b/c cop took my liscence. A Lot of other b/s and my lawyer seems to think one or 2 of the charges dont even make sense -ill have to see what happens on my court date

Oh and i did some dealings with chase this am- hell have the motor soon it does need a rebuild i think

A TII engine sounds good but rite now I just need my car to run rite. I think that the ignition has a really weak spark. Or some **** like that. Im thinking of getting the MSD 6A. Maybe if I fix this little problem I will bring the car. Other than that I dont really want to drive it that far.

As for you car Jason, that just sucks. I still have mine apart at the shop. Im getting closer to getting the engine back in an getting closer to getting my turbo kit.

I will have way too many parts laying around if I do that, but I'll probably end up doing it.

When eric got the car back the shifter felt weird.

He took the shifter appart and the shifter bushing was sheered in half.

The "Man Beast" Casey musta shifted mad quick yo!

I always said if Casey can drive a car for a week and not break it - it is indestructable. He got about 3 days on my FD

so yesterday I ordered this for her.....

I know of 2 7's in the Muscatine area. Some old guy owns them and he thinks they are made of gold. One is an 86 or 87 GXL, no PS, no sunroof, 5-lug, red with gray interior. The other is a **** box SE blue on blue. The red one is OK, it has some rust and hasn't been driven for a few years. I think he said he wanted $450 for it. I thought that was rediculous but he said if he didn't get that price he would just sit on it. The blue one was FULL of rust, he wanted $300 for it. If you are interested, I will try to get his # from my friend. Jesse

For the spring meet, we had the same problem...nobody wanted to make a decision or commit to anything, so I just picked a date and time and location and set it up. But with my work schedule I don't know for sure when I can do it, so I haven't stepped up. If there is real interest, and if enough people want to do it in CR again, I'd still be willing to set it up and hope I could make it. I've only seen a couple of people really expressing interest in actually doing it though.

Let's see a show of hands...if it's in CR, how many would show up?

I would probably show up again but most likely not in my car because lack of license.
