any body want a 300e (free)

my daught goes to whittenberg univ in ohio... I had given her 4 cars..
and the last straw was this 900 dollar 300e I think its a 1989. I rebuilt the head... and replaced the rear differential... and it worked fine...

I told her to put some anti freeze in it in the winter. She did not. but she did not drive it either... anyway the big freeze ruined the water pump. So
is any one interested...

I could give it to one of you or i could pay one of you to haul it down to me. I am in louisville ky.

I'm confused... Is this asking for a favor or offering to give someone a 300e?

I beleive I'm misreading the post

your welcome to it

your welcome to it... you might not have to toe it if you show up with a water pump... the fan clutch is also acting up... the bolts were loose...

but other than that a batter charge and you should be able to drive it home...

i want to get it out of my name... the last time i left a car sitting in springfield ohio gave me 4 warrants....

Blueranger I'm happy you have offered it to THIS group, I'm certain it will find a great new home with someone from this group, folks who truly appreciate these cars and will be willing to fix them up and keep them alive.

I bet Melted Panda would love the challenge of a car like this, after his Libby project this would be a piece of cake.

Thanks again!!!
