I've had enough of this damn car!! For the past two months it's been one thing right after another! It never wants to start! Once it does start, it dies on the spot or lets me drive it a mile or two, then the tranny starts shaking the whole car and it dies!! Do you know how many times I've had to push the car through an intersection or stop sign? I almost walked away from it last week! Even kicking and cussing don't work!! AARRRGGG!! This car has been my baby for years! MillerWoods turbo, perfect black paint, 16" wheels, now I don't even want to look at it!! It's stuck along a side road in Myrtle Beach and will stay there until someone comes and gets it. Just make me an offer, $100 sound good? I'm just ready to get rid of this freakin' thing! Here'a pic before all this crap started,

$100 sounds good to me, but I'm sure you'll come to your senses after a while. Right now, I'm feeling the same way about mine, but I've finally decided to keep it, just because I got my tax rebate to get nitrous. I hated how slow it was compared to other vehicles. Just think about it. You're gonna hate yourself if you do something harsh, like selling it for $100. Good luck with whatever you do.
$750, and for whoever else decides to bid from here on in, I will not be here until late tonight, so whatever the bid is at, add $25 to that so I will always be on top. =) hehe.
I will buy the car for $100 but if the bid is up i will pay $1500 serious the turbo is more than that isn't it If that is an april fools joke though it is just mean

I know the feeling! I've spent a year getting my 86GT on the road(engine swap and suspension restoration) and a week after it's on the road I hear a loud BANG and see smoke out the rear! I pull over to see what it is and see nothing really wrong(checked the oil coolant and turbo) so I go to start the car and it won't start!
Turns out the cv boot exploaded and sprayed grease all over the exhaust manifolds! And then I had a short which toasted my battery! What a scare I had.
Good luck, I'm still working on my electrical problems.

It's Joe.
Anyways, do you think it's a fuel or a spark related problem? My 88GT goes through ignition coils at the rate of once every 2 weeks. It turned out it was actually the ignition module killing them. You might want to try replacing that. It might help you out

Gee... never saw THAT one coming... yeah, right. <grin>
As sweet as that car has been when I've seen it, there's no way in Hell you'd have let it go like that.
