But has the ford 302 in it (the ones that last forever) Anyways they had 1550 on window(when i was driving by yesterday0. The door handle is messed up and he goes as it sits will do it for 1350. but it is out of gas but i assure you it runs good. i was like no thanks. he goes 1300 then as I was walking out the door. I go not till I hear it run. he goes ok come back tomorrow (now today) and you can drive it. I was I take a hell of a test drive to make sure nothing is wrong( I am skeptical of the price. he goes go for it. I have faith in it. So today come back. Took it for a test drive. I dogged the hell out of it couldn't find anything wrong. had it out for a while. checked for leaks. fluids everything normal. ****** shifts perfect. Up and down and under load. no motor noises. A/C works great. Even took it up to 90mph to check front end. Was tight and no wobbles or anything. Rode smooth as hell at 90. I can't find anything wrong with this freaking thing. And I tried and tried and tried. ...... So of course I ended up buying it scratching my head like wtf I have to be getting goosed somehow in this. I mean he was honest saying he buys them at the auction (like almost all used car lots) says just flips them quick for money. Even if that is the case. and even with this being a V8 in the era of gas costing more than a top end hooker in vegas ... Still very cautious ....... Maybe it was one of the repos a lot was trying to get rid of. Wish me luck but body wise it is in perfect shape except the bumper and the paint is about a 9 out of 10. just a small spot of surface rust over the wheel well. maybe 2 inches.. Anybody else get deals like this before? how did it turn out for you?</p></blockquote><p></p>
