That sucks, is it your every day driver? I need to get something that I can get in and go. I am not looking for more projects lol.
So parts are not very easy to come by for these cars?

Im about 4 hrs away.
The guy said the tires have about 75% tred left. So lets say they are 12"s, should I be looking for some 13" wheels? Im sure its been posted whats interchangeable so I wont even ask lol. Also what kind of mpgs can these things do? I have read anywhere from 35-45 mpg. They owner claims it will do 40mpg.96 S10 ZQ8 4.3 Auto Stock, Clarion HU, Alpine tweets, mids and sub actively x over power by kicker amps

Good call on not asking about which wheels fit ha there is a sticky of that info. You can get 13's for real cheap and then get new tires for real cheap too. I got 4 rims and all new tires for $150.Originally posted by 91dime View Post
You are correct with the MPG depending on what you have but 40's are not uncommon. I have a 4 speed and get around 38-42 average. That's about half in town and half on the interstate at 75mph-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would be very happy to get 40, I will give the car a good tune up, use all synthetic oils, and probably a K&N filter so that should help.96 S10 ZQ8 4.3 Auto Stock, Clarion HU, Alpine tweets, mids and sub actively x over power by kicker amps

Sure. This is what Rasta looks like right now. I am deciding if I will fix him or not. Most are not this bad, but this is the area you have to watch and along thepinchweld along the bottom of the car. If it looks like jagged metal, you have lots to fix.

My carbed 89 consistently gets 41 to 42 mpgs. Just got my 90 FI, haven't run enough gas through it to find out its mileage yet. Yet.Originally posted by 91dime View Post
There are getting to be more and more from WV, but given that I pretty consistently see 10 or 12 Festies in my county, and I know of only one other member from here, I've still got some work to do.

92festie, your 15 miles from me!
Hopefully, the one your looking at isn't red.
Met a guy who had a red one with a screwed up suspension and wanted a fortune for it.
Of course this was when gas was $4+/gal.
Give some thought to Ohiostiva and the pre-party at Area 241!
