ST Pimpin

just baught this sucker .
66910 miles on the odometer. Rear right drum brakes
were locked up from the winter.
my mechanic towed it, banged out and adjusted the brakes
filled the oil, filled the air in the tires, trimmed so hanging plastic,
and topped off the anti-freeze/coolant all for 80 bucks. it needs a new muffler.
The owner charged me 750 for the car, What a Deal !!!
and now i present to you :

I'd purchase a deck. It's not likely you'll have anything worth listening to on tape and you can get a Low end Pioneer CD player these days for like $45 bucks. Might as well splurge a little since you'll be spending a lot of time in it delivering Pizza's.

That's a nice car you got there for under 8 bills... but given the little fix it things you needed to do... i guess it was well worth it... but getting those things fixed for under 100 bucks... that's bad ass... What do you plan on doing with the car...

>Keep it all original... and have it as a "Semi-Classic" car...
>Suit it up with all the mods you can get for the engine and have it as a sleeper...
>Destruction Durby...



If you are keeping it all original... IMHO you should keep the tape deck in there if it is functional... just get an FM Tuner or those old school car kits...

If you are going to mod the sucker up with everything and anything you can find... take it out and upgrade the SOB...

If you are going to race it in the destruction durby races... Take everything and anything of value out of it... (example: Stereo, speakers etc...) anything anyone with a toy-yoda would like to have for theirs...

Have fun with your new buy...

I'm in Corte Madera. If you want to mapquest the zip is 94925. it might fit, it would probably be able to fit in a backpack. depending on where you are i might be able to bring it by.

you did well if you got it for $750. even if you had to pay your mechanic to adjust and beat on the brakes. because you could probably turn around and sell it the next day easy for 2 grand. and clear a grand.
not bad for a day's work huh?

What's the matter, couldn't wait for a power outage to take the pictures? You thought the night, the rain, and the lack of a flash would be enough? :trout:

He made sure he took night shots so you wouldn't notice it has no interior. Hell for $750 you can bolt down a set of kitchen chairs for front seats and still be under $800.
