Hey all,
I've had this car for a couple of years now. I got it with a worn out clutch. I replaced the clutch and the shifter bushings, put it back together (over the course of a year or so), and have been driving it occasionally since this past spring. I thought I'd see if I could find an interesting trade proposition from you folks.
Located smack-dab in the middle of Missouri. Columbia, to be exact.

The odometer on this thing broke at something like 220,000 miles. But it fires up and runs great. The previous owner told me he put a new timing belt on it not too many miles before he sold it to me...take that for what it's worth. I've put maybe 1,000 miles on it during my ownership.
It grinds going into second gear unless you know the trick (not that tricky), the repaint is faded, it's got some dents, and it has rust. It's not a pretty car...it's my "eurobeater." If you're looking for something with working a/c or you care about the service records, or exactly how many miles are on the clock, then this is not the car for you.
I drive it (about 50 miles round trip) to work once every week or two (for fun and utility). It has good tires. and runs smooth and straight...very comfortable.
Again...just mostly fishing for trades. I'd be interested in pretty much anything rear drive. Fox mustang (any engine...or none at all), '91-up Escort and mazda cousins (particularly GT or Wagon with 5 speed), shortbed fullsize trucks, Smaller trucks (S10/Ranger/Toyota/Mazda/Etc), classic-ish domestic cars, vintage japanese rear drive stuff, a tire machine, Geo Tracker/Suzuki Sidekick, a horse trailer, car hauling/equipment trailer, a P71, Fiat X1/9, early MR2...these are the sorts of things that pique my interest.
Thanks for looking,
Clem
