Default Found my winter DD

lol, dont you always find what you were looking for when your not even looking for it, i was out looking for a car for the old lady, when the owner of Rosen motors (good friend of the our family) tells me hes got a nice winter beater for me, its a 95 chrysler cirrus lxi, all leather, perfect interior, exterior is awesome, some surface rust, but for a dd instead of my formula ill take it, paint looks new other than said rust, 75000 miles, 1 owner, 6 cylinder, moon roof, and told me i could take it dor $1500 plus tax,title, fees, i drove it all over town, drives awesome, ac is ice cold, heat is blazing, kbb is around $4000, just happy the Firebird wont have to go through an Illinois winter

This would be a nightmare for me. I'd hate to even think about it. I would walk to work before driving my Camaro in the salt and snow (and I work 37 miles from home ).

I am picking up a 90' F-250 Super Duty to drive and tow my Camaro. It ain't pretty but it'll do what I want it to do. There is no way I could drive my Camaro in the winter. No power steering, is on slicks and skinnies, and the heat will be coming out shortly.

I just got rid of one of those. Pretty decent beater car.
Only problems I had were the distributor went out, crank pos sensor.
They weren't too bad once you make room to get to them. It is a tight compartment.

T-Belt....That was a NIGHTMARE...if I remember right there is one bolt on the back side of then motor that is a biiioootch to get.

Enjoy

We did the t-belt because the waterpump was leaking and it runs off the t-belt.

The distributor and CPS will either stall at random and not restart till it cools down or not start at all.
