But could be the car someone is looking for if their doing a swap or something. __________________

Well I talked with my dad a bit and despite the fact that the engine works we decided we should sell it as if it were a rolling shell. This is because repairing or replacing the auto transmission (if that is indeed the problem and not the differential) is too expensive for most people. A manual transmission would probably be a cheaper replacement, but I didn't look into that.
Regardless, my previous offer of first $1500 takes it home has now been rescinded.
The best offer over $1000 gets to take it. __________________

My time limit to fix this car has just been shortened significantly. The garage I'm storing it in will no longer be available after December and I doubt I will have the money to get it repaired in time.
SO, since starting at $1500 and working down didn't work, I'll start at the other end. This is an auction, the car will be posted on Craigslist and AutoTrader in Dallas/Ft Worth.
Auction starts at $1
Highest bid gets it. Bidding ends in two weeks. It goes in craigslist in three days, auto trader after that. If anyone hits $1000 they get it. Any questions check the original post or pm me. __________________

I will be in town for Thanksgiving. This is a good time to hit me up about seeing the car in person. I'll be in DFW Wed and Thurs. (817)914-0834 __________________
