March 29, 200521 yr I found this one local on the craigslist 300.smackers. Here is the jist, Person selling it is 15 yrs old does not know how to drive a stick, He got it from his neighbor that bought it from a wrecking yard back in 2003 and used it for a carryall truck. Some one broke a key off in the ignition so to fire this thing up a flat nose screwdriver works well, Someome put one of those aftermarket gt steering wheels in it which wouldn't be so bad except this one is cut like plane joystick (round on the bottom and sides but nothing on top) Or 2/3 of a steering wheel. It does make it real hard to drive. The car has a sun roof and the dual tranny that shifts fine, Nice studded tires and Crome wagon wheels with subaru center caps, a kind I have never seen. . The car has been sitting for awhile and smokes a bit, but drives nice. The problems with it All the Blinkers are shot (front and back) I have replacment fronts, so I will need replacement tail lights. It has no back seats or the braket, or seat belts, or roll bar , Or front bumber. And I just sold my ram bar too. It has the high top canopy but with no rear door Glass. The best part of the whole car, They stuck in a 8-track player here is the only pic I got so far. ps my wagon 82' is for sale now on the board
March 29, 200521 yr I saw that on craigslist as well. Thats a very sweet score, those rims alone are probably worth $300. -Brian
March 29, 200521 yr It's a steal! The 80 on eBay is $2500 now! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4538720473&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT I think I might list my 80 BRAT. Todd
March 29, 200521 yr omfg!! you got a 8 track??? o dude .,... youbetter not fall asleep i be creeepin on your 8 track! ps.. nice score... but pay attention to tha 8 track.. don't blink don't sleep...
March 29, 200521 yr Author I don't have any 8-tracks tapes, and really don't know where to buy them either, so if you don't steal it from me first, I may be able to part with it before I put a less popular cassett player in it.
March 29, 200521 yr Author Sweeeeeeeeeet that baby's mine, thanks for the tip, all I need now is dingle ball trim and a disco ball
March 30, 200521 yr Author Ok here is a update, drove the girl home and boy she shimmys part of the radio/8-track fell off while I was driving it, knob or something, I'll post some pics later when it is not rainning, Everytime I shift it pulls to the left and the steering is sloppy. also when I was driving on the freeway I could only get it to about 55mph. It's home now but I was praying that it did not fall apart and it didn't, (thank God) Brad
March 30, 200521 yr Check the DOJs on the front. Also check the ball joints and outer tie rod ends. lots of fun. Heck of a find, man!
March 30, 200521 yr sounds like its time to rebuild the front end of the car. PM me for some details on how to save money and put better brakes/balljoints/control arms in the front
March 31, 200521 yr Hmmm cut the bottom off the wheel and have it knight rider style All you would need then is a digidash from an 85-86 EA82 wired in and some red LED's up front
March 31, 200521 yr Author Knight rider, I think did not have to rotate the wheel a lot to turn his car, I spun the wheel in a parking lot turning around and smacked my hand with that cut off peice when I was expecting the wheel there. It hurt. the wheel is going soon. Do you want it ?
April 1, 200521 yr Heck no! I think its unsafe too... maybe sell it to someone on e-bay for a buck? Or throw it away?
April 1, 200520 yr Author Yeah I have someone on the board locally that is going to look at it monday If he likes it he gets it, I really did not want to sell it but I really do not need 5 cars while renting a place apt or house. He needs it more than me since I bought another Brat, That's what my wife wanted more. Plus it has been sitting for over a year I really don't have time to work on it. Brian, I thought about selling it on ebay to, I also think it is unsafe to drive, not only hard to drive as well. Brad
April 2, 200520 yr Mike, I think he's trying to take over one of our titles.... either mine as the USMB drunk apprentice or yours, the USMB drunk! :drunk:
April 2, 200520 yr Author Why Do I think your name is Brian???? SORRY Mike, must be you're car makes me think of a brian Mike Doesn't your wagon have a really long cb whip antenna?? I just know I've been in your car before. Sorry I am horrable with names, But good with faces......I think, .......well cars......ok ..ok .. Soobs I know the soobs right ..
