Default Dodge Shadow GONE!! yay

Watch the video for details.

Atleast i got my $100 back for the new head gasket, lifters, valve cover gasket, head bolts, and other misc.


The truck is up for sale and I will add that money to the $100 and next weeks check and I will hopfully be able to find a reliable car.

Oh yeah, never buy a Jap Dodge!! the trans are ****ty, and the motors are POS's! I might just get a escort or somethin. Or a geo that i wont even think about modding and hot rodding.

Educate yourself. There is nothing "Jap" about that car. It's all Dodge. Funny thing is, I've had many friends with 2.2 and 2.5L dodges, and hardly any problems.

Yeah not to that degree. I want another one, found one for $400 and have cash at hand, and the guy never called back and never answered my calls. So **** him! I am FORD right now, still got the truck, which is pending sale on one guy right now, he will give me $500 for it. Its a **** deal but i will take that amount of cash right now. I'll have $500 and get paid in about a week so I should be able to buy a decent car this time. Not a full on POS. And.... not a dodge. And HA, just got off the phone with someone who will give me my asking price ($700).

And TBird, Mitsubishi owns Dodge. They owned Dodge while the shadows, lebarons, daytonas, etc were built. throwing in a Jap motor. Everything says Japan on it, and everything was metric. Jap car FTL

I have no idea. the truck is great, its always there for me and doesnt leave me hangin. The motor runs like a champ, the truck has almost 80k on it, and its been well maintained and oil has been changed frequently.

Im asking for $600, someone said they would give me 450 and someone said they would give me asking price. People honestly think its just a junker, but its not. For being a 74 its RELIABLE!

I have heard nothing but bad reviews for the escort. If you can try for something newer, like late 90s, early 2000s. You should be able to pick up early 2000 year model vehicles for $1300 or less.
