sadly much less value due to the small engine and early style transaxle....good news is it is NOT an interference engine / valve bender. Best to decide if 198 Rear Wheel Horsepower will float your boat ! BEFORE you "invest" thousands of dollars and years of your life.

I will reiterate, run away! Run away very fast! That shark is a humongous money/time pit. I know very well the pitfalls.

Do yourself a favor and find one well sorted model.

I live in GA and the car is in TN. Not accessible to me right now nor will it be anytime soon . Man I wish you guys new how good it was when it used to be. My sister called me and said why did your dad let this car get like this!!!!! Seriously the cars condition was good just need a interior refresh not a full overhaul and your basic 1980's daily driver car maintenance. I know it may not be a great 928 model year but it was fun to drive and sure did not feel like 200hp, more like 400 to me This will be a nice parts car for someone. I know for a fact the body is good and the exterior items are good. I will just put this on my list of cars to buy when I turn 40 in 10 years and hopefully the price will not be too bad by then thanks guys.

Right down the hwy from you. Columbia,TN Probably about a 1.5-2 hr drive. I pass through Chattanooga to go home and visit. I could drive my truck and drop it off on the way back to Atlanta

Price I do not know, I would have to talk with him and see if he wants to part it or sale the whole car. I am looking to be in Chattanooga in September so I will get back with you.

Just got off the phone with my dad. He said yes he will sale it. He told me he actually fixed the fuel pump and the timing belt. He said that it does run now, but the AC and window are the last two know issues that it had prior to him not driving it anymore.

I will send you my cell number. I have a Dodge Ram and can go pick it up if you are serious about getting it.

Anyone else that is in the driving area of Columbia/Nashville, TN and Atlanta Georgia. This also includes Alabama because I can go home through Alabama too. Send me a PM I can drop the car off at your front door.
