I don't have the funds. I have max of $500 in my checking and savings together. Autozone on Hughes hasn't called me about a job yet either. So I am probably going to do an application for the Jordan store pretty soon.

 

It has to be a stick, no auto for me. There are a few 90s GTs for around the same prices as the 00-04 V6s. V6s are in better shape though.

 

Don't sell it!! Stuff breaking is part of owning a classic. I think you should let it sit till you can afford to fix it.

 

Sorry to hear this Jake. Hopefully you can get another one after all the schooling is done and you have a dependable DD to take you to work. I know how it is. I've wanted a classic car since before I could drive and I was 36 before I ever got one.

I also think Waffles should have his butt kicked for passing up any 70 Cuda for that price.

 

Ditto here, I wanted a 65 since I was 5. Didn't get one til a couple years ago when I was 26. The car I own now has been in my sights since I was 14. Took a long time to convince my Uncle to sell.

 

I plan on buying another classic after or during college. This definitely won't be my last classic.


Found out about 15 minutes ago my battery is boiling. So dad is going to get a voltage regulator and replace it and hope it helps.

 

a voltmeter really helps for ****

how much volts is your alt putting out at idle? shouldnt ever be more than 15

 

It was over 15 volts I think. Coil was getting over 15 and at one point over 19.

 

I'm sorta in the same boat as you are...

Long story short, I'm gonna be selling my car soon. Sad too, since I had big plans (who doesn't) I've spent a lot of money on spare parts, too. They've just been sitting for over year:Another engine, T5 tranny, Eaton M90 supercharger, Hooker Super Comp Headers, Turbo Thrush mufflers, 2bbl carb...
