  • Added to the "collection"-88LX

    I got this from a guy, somewhat local to me, from CL. The paint is about as beat as I've seen, but the sheet metal is about as straight as I've seen. Due to the weird side molding that someone had put on in the distant past on the high line of the sides, no dents, door dings, etc. all down either side. One dent in the rear on the bumper cover rubber. And it has a "rigged up" weber 2 barrel with a homemade adapter that is sucking air and will not idle. It runs "ok" enough that I was able to drive it home- 60 miles or so. It's more in the parts car category for me, but would definitely make a pretty good car with paint if I ever get caught up and have nothing to do(hah). The original 5 spd crapped out and was replaced with a 4 spd, which rev wise is only marginally better that my automatics, and was my first time driving one. The only driving I have planned for it presently is moving it for lawn mowing.
