Hey all, I'm looking for a cheap project car/winter beater to tinker with, so I found this red power ram with a "for sale" sign on it the other day while out running errands.
The frame looked okay, and interior is near perfect with the exception of some cracking on the vinyl on the drivers side from all the getting in/out over the years.
The guy selling it couldn't pass emissions, and the engine stumbled a bit, even though it had a fresh timing belt done (106k miles on it)... Had it home on a flatbed for $300 even!
Tore into it to and noticed the distributor cap had a crack in it, so I got a new one for it, along with wires/plugs. Also reset the timing (with proper grounding) and it smoothed up pretty well! Drove it around the block a few times and the auto trans shifts nice and smooth. Everything seems very functional!
Found the original dealer window sticker in it too! Just shy of $14k in 92.
Most important thing now is TIRES! They were very underinflated when I brought the car home, and they looked cracked like dried mud... I'm not planning anymore driving on these. What's a good tire for these 15" rims?
A quick pic! Resoldered a bit on the front-right blinker to get it working again.
