OK, project SD's gotta go...

I'm getting some of my project SD's OUT of my yard.

I've got a mildly rusted 82SD needing an engine dropped in with several engines to choose from, just need time and assistance to get it out of my yard.

also, I've got my 85 FULLY OPTIONED SD with a busted VP that took out the chain and cam that needs to go...

any takers?

Wish I could go for that loaded '85 . Is that the black leather one that was full of garbage?

ok, getting serious about making these cars move out.
ANYBODY nearby that wants to take home an SD? MAJOR work needed on both of them, but they are both decent projects...

interior is tan leather. yes, it's the original 2.88 gears, with working ODO. (I put in new gearvendor gears when it began slipping) also, the chain is NOT broken. when the pump let go, it caused a bind, and the cam snapped, along with the cam gear.

I do have a fantastic condition 180K mile 83SD motor sitting on an engine stand in the garage. lemme know if you want to have the motor as well.

oh... I have another SD that can go also... it's an 83 rust free, but it's been repainted with lacquer forrest green paint, and it's all cracking. and they SAND Stripped the original paint, so the front and rear deck have deep scratches in the aluminum. I have pulled the engine, and trans. and removed the center console, but aside from that it's complete...
come get them!

Ugh. You guys down South are much farther apart than us New Englanders. I was thinking that I might be able to do this on a trip down to DC, but... yikes! 6.5 hours down to North Carolina??? I was hoping it would be a few hours at most...

You are young. Part of the job description involves doing wonderful, dumb things that later qualify as adventures (and generally expand in scope each time the story gets told).

Go see Europe on $5 a day. Buy a Greyhound pass and travel across the country talking to the people you meet. Commit to riding every roller coaster on the east coast.

But before you do any of that other stuff, you and a friend need to modify your concept of sleep for a weekend and get yourself down to VStech's place with a tow dolly....
