It's a 1995 Buick Skylark. It has four doors. It's red. It's mine. Title is legit and in my kitchen, waiting, no silly crap. It's in Findlay Ohio. It runs and drives, just. I start it occasionally, and putter it around to keep seals oiled, tires round, and the brakes from seizing. It's been sitting for about 2 months. Rust condition for Ohio-Above average. Floridians, that means you'll still get all wide-eyed with fear upon inspecting the underside.
$130.00 GRM only Challenge price. Here's the Craigslist Post.

I got this charming email response today from Kristina Myhyperitaliannamesoundsfake:
"It's a rod, idiot, stop trying to rip people off for a few bucks."
Um, berkeley you b-word. It's not a rod, and besides, the decent body's worth at least 250. Pray tell, how is it you've already diagnosed it by psychic senses all the way from Lima? Fine, gotohell Craigslist. When will I learn to stop being honest and lie, lie, lie, like everybody else?
Long story short on this car, I replaced the head and gasket on this thing. While it was all apart, the timing chain tensioner went all sproing. I thought I tracked down all the bits and put them back together. I musta been wrong. It'll start and run but it makes a noise that sounds like death. BUT I tracked the scary noise down with a stethoscope and it's coming from right behind the timing cover, clear as a bell. Happens when you rev it, imitates rod knock, but it's the chain flopping about. Still bad, but not terminal. Dealer wants $50 for a new tensioner. I haven't had the 50, plus I got this from my ex, and my heart isn't in fixing it, just in getting rid of it. I'm moving soon, and it's not coming with me.
There's a Quad4 in there with a new reman head and everything you need to run it, yank it out and put it in a Locost or something. Or just yank the suspect engine, plop in a cheap good one, and drive it into the ground. All the luxo doodads work, even the A/C. Tranny may or may not be fine. THAT I'm not sure about, and I can't drive it to check. Plates and insurance are canceled. Unless you live in Findlay it's a job for a trailer. You're welcome to come down, see it, buy it, then come back for it later, however.
I got the car cheap from my ex, now I'm passing it on for cheap. I just want enough money by week's end to have a nice party.
My net access is spotty, but my email is deadsober At yahoo dot com.
better yet, call me. 4197888047. Try not to sell my number to the Devil. Make sure to mention GRM so I know you. The car can sit for a few weeks if need be. Craigslist pays cash only, but I'll work with Challengers a bit. Still, it's only 130, so cash is best.
Call after 2pm to get ahold of me, and I'll be watching the thread.
