LMAO could be the location. I kind of dig getting into a verbal spat every now and then.. There is nothing in my ad that is mean or insensitive. I put it blunt and to the point. THEY DO NOT READ THE DAMN AD. Plain and simple.
It runs fine as long as you don't go out driving it. I have only yard driven it and it has never actually over heated. But the other day I was trying to pull my old shed about ten feet over from where it was.. It then started steaming out the exhaust. So It may not be a bad leak. Just minor under pressure. I can get the head redone for 100.00 from my Mopar buddy. He has all the stuff to resurface them. My plan was to fix and flip it I have been pretty busy and haven't had time to mess with it. Now I think my kid needs a first time beater so it might be the toyota.
I did not and refuse to believe my ad was anything other than to the point. I understand your angle. I had it like that at first. And like I said after 15 people calling and asking the same thing. It was all in the ad from the start.
At least you didn't put two bottles of Bars Leaks in it and try to sell it as a perfect running vehicle as many people would have done.
Haa, Buddy of mine had a Labaron GTS Turbo 2.2 that little turd would haul ***. Popped a head gasket and we must have used 3 or 4 tubes of barsleak to get it home.. never actually fixed the head back then we were kids and as long as it wasn't leaking out we were cruising.
I had a LeBaron Convertible, Shelby Lancer (intercooled rocket Turbo II), and Shelby Charger. The Shelby Charger was actually the most fun car I have ever owned. Loved blowing off 5.0 Mustangs and Z28s all day long with that car. It was also a autocross champion and handled like it was on rails with just KYB shocks as the upgrade.
I have the chance to buy 2 shelbys both non turbo I think 85 models. One is blue and silver the other maroon and silver. And a omni parts car. All for 800 bucks.
I don't mind fielding the calls. if they have legit questions that are not answered in the ad. But when its the same damn questions about information posted in the ad its stupid to engage these people. Screw them and it makes for a great topic of conversation.
1983 to early 1985 could be non turbo, but mid 1985 to end of the run (late 1993 I believe was the Shelby GSX Shadow and Spirit R/T) were all turbos. Turbo I was 145HP and Intercooled Turbo II was 180 to 195HP depending on car (GLH, GLHS, Shelby Lancer). The Turbo III was advertised at 212HP and had multiple issues with valve springs and shredded timing belts.
I think we did. This one...

I wouldn't say hostile, just to the point. I guess people take it the way they want. I don't really take anything personal. I certainly wouldn't let a craigslist ad get under my skin. There are a ton of ads on there with similar highlighted phrases. And the way I interpret those ads are... Well, the guy is firm on his price and won't budge.. How does that make sticking my toyota up my *** the very next thought that comes to mind?
That's the way I feel too. If you're too stoooopid to read the ad, then you're going to end up getting a lesson that you won't forget.....I hope. The very first engine I bought from an ad in the local paper in 1969 was advertised as a 383. It turned out to be a 361. Back then 100 bucks wasn't chump change and I learned how to ID Chrysler engines after that and never made that mistake again! And no, he wouldn't take it back. I was just a dumb 18 year old to him....or maybe he didn't know. Heck, I sold a 273 one time thinking for sure it was a 318. Never even crossed my mind to check it before advertising it. The guy that bought it called and told me but he said he was fine with it being a 273 and figured that's what it probably was being that it came out of a 67 Dart. That was around 73-74 and now I make sure what they are....
