What?! If this check out...

I wonder how bad is the oil consumption.

Wonder why he wouldn't take it to a shop and get an estimate to repair before selling for such low price. He could be losing thousands.

If it sounds too good to be true......
Presumably this guy has tried all the usual suspects & it's not a simple matter of a valve cover gasket or something. Most likely something happened with the first owner & he has had a shop look at it more than once & he's been advised the engine needs to be torn down & inspected or more likely replaced.

good candidate for a swap

[vincezhp8]

if someone will be checking this car make sure to check that there are no blue smoke coming out of exhaust pipe.

Car burns a quart or so every 500 miles per the owner.

Just got off the phone with him.
Good car for a swap that's for sure.

Wow you guys are on it! I had the guy calling me this evening. After a brief chat with a shop I'm out. The space in my garage is not reserved for a project.

I will keep searching for the right car!

Love the thread and forum!

Cheers,

Isn't there someone looking for a car to do a swap on?
