This vehicle is probably for parts only.. As far as I can tell the frame is in good shape but the engine is shot.

Pictures taken last spring available at:

Engine ran till this past weekend, after sitting for a few months in the parking lot, I was trying to sell the car the engine seized.

I don't have the title, I am not asking for anything for the car, other than you pay for the registration/lost title (an additional 85$ i believe) to transfer the car in to your name.

Car NEEDS to be Towed... If you are interested PM me, and I will give you my phone # to talk live.

hmmm, I am not that far and I do have my Ram 2500...

What happened to it? That oil looks like a thrown rod.

The oil was from the lid to the oil filter housing.. The thread had stripped at some point and the generic rethread insert came undone

The car ran ok after that the car still ran (with a refill of oil and new filter)

It was running well on sunday before it siezed... The battery is totally dead now too.

The exhaust is detached right behind the engine

If you want more pictures I can take some, or stop by
