i don't want to see these kinds of ads. These cars are worth 3X that amount.

Got pictures of the car. It's a fixer upper, on the rough side! By the time all said and done, if someone wants to make it presentable, will have over $9K in it (probably more).

I dunno, I paid $3700, and haven't touched the engine or interior (except for the clock)... AND it even had new tires... everything else now... Suspension, Brakes, hatch delam, paint was shot (still needs a repaint), PS rack, and the list just keep going, but it ran (and still does) like a top... I'm into it almost 10K now... and just started buying fun parts (Zietronix, Laust EGT, CPR Clear lenses...) I'm enjoying this car WAY too much...

"I'm into it almost 10K now."

You can delete the rest of your post. I rest my case.

But, had the seller listed it as " Runs Well" he wouldn't have been lying... I does run well, it just didn't DRIVE well when I got it... much beter now though, and getting beter with each new part....

Just grabbed an '86 951 almost a month ago for $5500 that not only runs great, but also looks great. I wouldn't say this is the norm however.
