I have worked on that one actually it has a siezed head bolt that's broke in the block and stuck in the head. Bodys been repainted with some very minor rot. The guy that's selling it is actually very rarely on here. Let me know our you have ?'s

I think he has some pics or we will get some posted. Its red in color. I think it has the AC components but probably doesnt work. Dont quote me on that one. It is a salvaged title by the way. No sun roof. Shifter has some slop in it too.

UPDATE:  Pics on the craigslist listing.
----------------
It has the AC components, but the compressor is froze.

Pretty much everything Possum is saying is true.  The car needs alot of work, more than I have the resources to do.  Hence why it's probably gonna end up pick'd and pull'd.

And for the life of me I cant figure out how to upload images.  PM me with your email and I'll send you some.  I'll also update CL with pics if that helps.

I just stole them from craigslist and hosted them on my poscarclub.com site. ha.

Honestly this motor looks like it just need freshining up. Cant get the bolt out of the head is the big problem. I assume someone could just use a press to get in there and push it out. There are cracks between the valves(small) on the head but other then being dirty looks better then the one I just took off my rabbit.

For the price the body is worth it if you got another motor to slap in it.
