engine and drivetrain Introduction, and "is this worth saving/parting" q

[Gordon]

Here's the original Craigslist ad for the car.

http://madison.craigslist.org/cto/1967150245.html and I thought the car was repainted Verona, just a shade or two off. The spare motor that comes with the car is a 72 tii motor (plastic runners). Since it comes with a tii motor and spare 5 speed, I say make an offer. Seller wants it gone since he's losing his storage space. Take in to serious consideration that this car is a major project car. In CA, it would be a parts car but in the rust belt, this is a project car since clean rust free 02's aren't found close by for less than 1K.

You could always get your investment back by parting it out...

Definite Parts Car. Investment to revive far out weighs any gain.

Yep, that's the CL ad. Thanks for the info on the tii motor - I don't know enough about them yet to be able to tell the years. I'm going to consider an offer (then part) - we'll see if that pans out.

Cheers
