Ive tried to sell this thing on and off for awhile now. Its time for it to go. Ive hauled off all of my parts trucks and this car will go monday if someone doesnt come get it.

It will bring about $250 for scrap so if someone brings me that they can have it. The car needs a front pump seal put in the trans, i have the seal already. It needs a new top, they run about $200 on ebay. It will also need some cleaning. No reason someone couldnt put a few hundered in the car and sell it for $1500 or so. It does run but will need some tlc. I have the title so come get it or its going to get crushed!!!

Car has white(ish) leather interior seats have no rips to the best of my knowledge but the carpet will need to be shampooed.

Dash is digital and there is no battery in the car but i think it has like 17x,xxx miles on it. May be more may be less. I really cant remember.

I can be reached on here or by phone. My home number is (318)567-2559 and my cell is (318)655-2552.

Looks good. I have a bunch of stock parts if you find yourself missing something.

Anybody know of a local place that sells MT Fronts. Jets is cheaper than Summit by $9 each. I know that either place won't ship until Tuesday though, and I'd like to go to the track Friday.
Tirerack doesn't carry them.

One of those wheels would be super cool to coil a garden hose around. There's probably a niche market we are missing out on.
Could fab up something with the other one for the air hose.

I had 8 ply MT sportsman's. My car will never have those again for street. They sucked. Pushed in corner, only lasted like 2k miles, floted around at high speeds. I love my 165/80. If I was going to spend the money get the MT sportsman's SR radials.

Sorry guys been away for awhile. Have had some serious health issues so now having to be careful and do things differently. (mainly no drinking nomore) I have been playing with a 64 Buick Lesabre 4 door for awhile now and Im thinking of finishing it up since the doctor said I needed a better hobby.

I will have to redo the brakes, axles, put a motor/trans in it. I say this cause its just been sitting for a few years. I have decided to use a lsx motor maybe a 6.0 or 5.3. Ive been looking at converting the rear end to a disc brake one and a few other suspension changes to handle the new power plant.

I have someone to do my head work for me that is pretty good and I will add a cam to it also and leave it alone for a little while.

I have also wanted to build a s10 with a similar setup and kinda daily drive it for a toy.

S10's are fun, light, and easy to make quick while still getting ok mileage. Ive had both body style s10's and both body style blazers.

Ive always got my front tires from Jim South.

Anyone need any 16 inch wheels? Ive still got these firebird wheels and will be hauling them to scrap unless someone wants them. Take $40 for the full set.

Also have 3 s10 xtreme wheels. Take $30 for the 3.

I have a bunch of **** im about to get rid on. Trying to clean up a little and finish off the s10 all at the same time.
