    I check craigslist occasionally but haven't seen one locally for a while.
    I had 5 at one point but I'm not interested in buying any more now, just do enough to keep our two in shape with my stash of spare parts in the garage.

      No spitters were I work, you swallow it all. The Company feels if you already have it in your mouth why waste it.

        And then fry them up in a skillet.

        I scan Craigslist too often with www.crazedlist.org. I think it only works with Firefox though.

          I drive by one in Billerica Massachusetts ALL THE TIME! It has been sitting for years... It's mint green. The house is in shambles. It's a tragedy to see the car sitting there all this time.

            Whatever. Try 22 Virginia festivas. ONE with rust. OP, your only hope is to travel south. Then when you bring it home it's going to dissolve. Move south or just buy 10 year old non special cars from the south. Tauruses, civics, whatever and let them dissolve.

              Mine do breed, but for some reason they all come out with birth defects and need work anyway. Maybe a genetic disorder, I will have to try switching up the partners. LOL

                  Id bet there are a lot less than 50% of the festivas remaining. Never heard the 350,000 figure before.

                    It's a good thing you don't read the stickies, you might of learned something.Poverty produces creativity

                      kellen302 - Try Portland and Spokane CL. Definitely worth the drive if it looks good.

                        Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep checking, there is one near by but it's an 88 and the carb to FI is to much work for my timescale.

                          Why do you need to swap from carb to efi?

                              Makes sense then.

                                Too bad I'm across the border. I've got another 93 aqua sitting, doing nothing because of broken front left brake line. Rebuilt top end on it too. Would be perfect for a aspire swap.
