Should I take a free beater?
A co-worker is trying to give away his 87 Cutlass, because he is going to iraq for 3 months, and will be buying a new car when he comes back. There' not much mechanically wrong that I know of, but would you guys take it? My tranny in my cl is on the fritz and will need replaced soon, plus it'd be nice to have 2 cars again. I don't need to pay anything for it , I would just have to get the title transferred and get liability insurance for it added on. What do you guys think?

I think it leaks oil, but I figure that if that's all that's wrong with it, I can get an oilpan from a junkyard or ebay, and replace it. Couldn't hurt, with all the projects i got goin with my cl anyway, it'd be nice to rip it apart and not have to worry about if it's back together or not.

dude if it's free why are you asking?
Make it into a little project car or something and get it cleaned up and nice- you'll be happy if your tranny on ur cl does go and you need some transportation

Is it a 2dr or 4dr?
If its a 2dr. those are popular to people who are into lowriders. Sell it to a lowrider fan.
But the way if its the 3.8L. Not alot of power but still a good running car. I used to own one w/ T-tops and some rims when I was young'er. Fun car. But its free. can be your beater ride. Can't beat that!! Go for it man!!
