For $2500 it seems like a hell of a deal, I doubt you can get the engine, transmission, diffs, etc. for that cheap. I'd love to get a Mustang SVO too, but the prices seem to be creeping up on them lately.

quote:

Your buddy told me you were considering a moped and I'm here to tell you that bros don't let bros buy mopeds.

You can call it "being green" all you want but I'm telling you it's the end of your dating life. You think you're going to pick up a girl on your moped? How about showing her the mountains? Get real, that'll be the last you see of the opposite sex.

Already have a girl you say and she thinks a moped is fine? Wait till a dude comes along with a real bike and takes her from ya. Then you're right back at square one again with no way to get a date. But hey, that's cool, at least you'll be getting the most out of your college dollars without chicks to distract you.

And since you no longer live at home with mommy, maybe you should consider this 1985 Honda Interceptor 500? This thing runs and rides and I got 51.9 mpg on my last tank. See, you can still be green, haul a girl around with you too, and all for about the same price as your precious moped. It's got enough power to haul the two of you around even if one of you has a few extra pounds but not so much power that you can dump her off the back, while taking off from that stop light all while trying to impress the hottie blondie in the convertible next to you. That's a good thing you see, cheaper insurance and then there's the whole "bird in hand vs. two in the bush thing.." Listen dummy, I'm saying that if you already have a girl on the back of your bike, you don't need to impress anyone else so 500cc's rocks.

This ride has a new air filter, spark plugs, carb insulator boots, gapped valves, along with cleaned and sync'd carbs. My wife said that if I kept this bike she'd have to get a tramp stamp to show off. And since I like tramp stamps on my girlfriends and not my wife, I need to sell this machine and move on to your grandpa's '80's CB series machines with the comfy backrest.

Here are a couple pictures with more available upon request. All the covers are in good shape and the left looks just as good as the right. Call Dave with questions 970-593-8680 or email.

No free rides, idiots, loosers, or dorks beyond help. Seriously, it's a motorcycle not a miracle. It's not guaranteed to get you chicks if you are already beyond help.

1991 240SX Has a 2006 pontiac GTO interior, Black leather seats. Dash and the center consol. The motor is also from the same 2006 GTO wich is a LS2 6.0 V-8 with an automatic transmission. The motor only has a little over 18,500 miles. The car was dyno tuned and it put down 387hp and 385 torque to the wheels. The motor is all stock with just headers and dual 3" exhaust. Also all of the wiring for the entire car is from the GTO everything works perfectly. Alot of custom work on this car. Call me if you are serious buyer or have more questions. (253)426-9095

Yeah, I'm going to agree with this. It's supposedly a diesel (not impossible, but...) with 1000 km in what looks like amazing shape for $2k? There are people here selling shitbox Civics for that. Either it's a total scam, or the side of the car you can't see has major body damage/doesn't exist at all.

Probably easier to transplant the interior than to try and make the new engine work with the old dash.

But is it 19 grand worth of nice? How much is that engine worth?

VideoTapir posted:

But is it 19 grand worth of nice? How much is that engine worth?

Just by looking at the car, here is a quick list of how much was spent:

LS2 transplant ~ $2,500-5,000
GTO interior bits ~ $300-500
Install kit ~ $1,000-1,500
Labor cost to install if paid to a qualified shop is over $4,000
Wheels and tires ~ $1,500-2,000
Boddykit and hood are at least a grand, not counting custom install and quality-looking paint. Think upward of $6,000
There is no mention of other upgrades, but we can assume at least a coil over kit.

If he dropped the car off at a shop and said "make it so", then he spent more than that asking price. If his asking price was 10 grand, I'd be driving it home. A handy DIYer can replicate it for much less, but at enormous time and labor expense. Knowing what the similar cars have sold for, this would go like hotcakes once he drops the price under 15 grand.

It doesn't really mean anything, except that they wanted it to remind people of Z28. The original Z24 came with the 2.8 V6.
