I don't know about you guys, but I get the feeling that the car has been in an accident for some odd reason. What are you guy's thoughts on this?

naviathan Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I don't know anything about it, but from the pictures it looks decent. My concern is the frame rails that he said were rust free. The Frame rails don't look right. They look thin and weak for something with that much power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 They could use some coating like bedliner but they don't look too bad. It looks like he the car was built pretty cheaply to me... I think he is making a profit off of it... he says $25k of parts but where did it go?! The car is missing one of those floor pan drain plugs FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240hoke Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Those frame rails look great to me! Dont see any rust there. My car has been in at least one accident. That tranny mount is looking pretty sketch though Ill give him that. Overall looks like a nice car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Someone complaining about this car being in an accident? These cars are 30 years old and the chances that they have been in atleast one accident is one in two I would bet. Those frame rails looks fine, coat them and its good.

OlderThanMe Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 very true... My car has been wrecked at least twice on all four corners and some idiot wrecked it bad the last time... He ran over something HUGE that pushed the passenger side floorboard up like 2 inches and left some pretty good side scars on the left rear control arm... Oh well. The tranny mounting is what throws the whole thing off IMO... The body looks in good condition and the motor is pretty nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoeightnine Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Yes I was wondering myself what raised a question of damage? I looked at the photos pretty close and came up with the conclusion. Dont see it! Anyhow he has a really nice motor and drive train there. Thats alot of work folks. If I had an opportunity at the car for a "decent" price, I would hit the interior a bit. But thats a decent car boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
