    runs or not, it's a 6 banger. i cant even give good running 6 cylinder engines away. IMHO, anything over $100 is too much for that car

    I initially thought it was a parts car from the one picture he posted. After seeing the other pictures now.....I would definitly restore that car.

    If you were closer, I'd take some of those sixes off of your hands.

    yep I had the running 250 out of my car on here for $50 with no real interest. It finally got put in with the scrap. As far as him wasting money all I can say is he will learn. I done the same thing when I was his age. I finally realized I was killing myself for nothing and quit buying parts cars unless they are cheap

    $200 , I would buy 4 cases of Corona, drink it all, or goto the strippers, and have way more fun than stripping out a rusted car. No one needs parts that bad.
