Haven't seen those wheels on a v8 before, also the fact that its a notch makes it a greater chance that its a 4cyl.

whats up man buying another one?

i have seen this one on here for a month or two he has dropped a couple grand off the price, as far as telling if its a 4cyl fro mthe pics is impossible, have u looked at it yet? looks like a decent deal if its a v8 car, how many miles and what has been done to it ?

so what are u doing with the one u just bought and whats wrong with it?

if the car is a true v8 car and decently low miles,not a rust bucket and looks to been taken care of 3000 grand seems fair but not much more than that unless some goods mods ?

just take a good look under the car at the floorpans,torque boxes if u can see them to check to see that there not torn up or splitting away from the body as that will tell u how the car has been treated


did u get any more info from the seller about the motor and what not ? is it all stock?
