a lot of fun for some car guys

Ok then, let'* look at it this way, what'* the most amount of money you would put into this $500.00 car in parts and still come out saying you got a great deal.Again, I don't know the mileage or whether it'* a 94 or 95. Mick told me it exactly like my car, colour and rims wise. He wouldn't know to see it if it'* a 94 or 95 and I know about the headlight squirter.

Even if you look at it for kicks. Go look. No one says buy it and then feel like you must fix it.

Heck Frank, if you want to go look for ***** and giggles, I'm down

It'* located in Brampton..................only problem is that I already have to many projects on the go...........................Gonna have to think about this for a bit since the tranny problem scares me.................I know, it doesn't hurt to look.

Are you still at a point in your life where working on cars is fun, I think that excitment left me years ago.

I bought my Bonneville for dirt cheap! The one you've mentioned seems expensive! Then again, mine had 278K miles on it and was going to be donated. The car has come a long way, but that'* thanks to the previous owner rebuilding the transmission 20K miles before I bought it. It had been used to tow his yacht, and the previous two transmissions, I heard, took quite a beating.

The first thing I consider while buying used cars is the way the transmission feels while I'm driving the car. Since the Bonneville you mentioned has a slipping transmission, that would be a definite turn-off for me. As it has been said, it never hurts to look. As far as buying the car goes, I don't see why you'd need it. Is your Bonneville doing all right?

My son is a member on this forum and goes by the name of Mickman. He'* 18 and had been borrowing my Bonne for close to a year. I was hoping this one could be for him. I'm not in need of a Bonne, he is.

Cool...then look over the car and if it'* worthwhile.. holler. I'll get the gang together and pull a trans.

I just noticed your signature Bill.........you one funny guy.



As for "holler. I'll get the gang together and pull a trans", that'* to much to ask for. I've never pulled a tranny in a FWD but I can imagine it'* a whole lot of work, especially at a scrap yard under less than ideal conditions.
