m4xwellmurd3r Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 cruise control? they came with a hand throttle but not a cruise control iirc the dealers used to remove them because people used them as a cruise control. Nice car for 500 though. But what does the rust look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucket240z Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well my moms mechanic saw mine and had a friend who said that he might get rid of his and he ended up selling it to me for redonculously cheap. I ended up actually not looking at it for three months cuz i figured for 500 it was going to be a piece of crap.....then i thought what the hell ill check it out and i called the man. the car had been sitting in different storage garages for the last 15 years. drained the oil, not too bad, hooked up a battery and checked everything else. brakes work clutch works tranny shifts every light inside and out works except for one brake light. we got it to run for about 45 seconds by itself after some tinkering but we think that the mechanical fuel pump is done for. we ghetto rigged an electric pump to it and got some fuel flowing but it hasnt been able to run again since the first moment of ecstasy when we were all jumping around doing the i love this car dance.

bucket240z Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Well it officially runs! after a couple hours of tinkering, some new radiator hoses, an electric fuel pump and jet style toggle switch its ALIVE!!! it idles good right at 800 or so and it smokes, as expected. Cleaned vacuumed out the interior installed the fluffy pimp seat covers, a bottle of armor all and the thing looks like a new car! and no it is not a hand throttle it is actually a cruise control, its after-market.
