I'll buy it from you for $200. Double your money.

 

ha, that would pay for 1 and 1/4 of one of the new MXV4 plus tires. No thanks

 

Wow! And damn I do hate you!

 

Dont hate delorean cause he got the best.

 

Junk it!

 

quite honestly, another few days and it would have been junked. funny thing is she probably would have gotten $150 for it too rather than $100, but oh well. I'd say it was a good save!

 

wow, why cant i find deals like that? im so jealous wtf...

edit: good job!

 

Did the Taco Bell come with it?

And













....dammit, find me a car now!

 

people should be hitting up Deek for their cars. still not sure how he found this one, but it was him who found it.

and the Taco bell was lunch. mmMMMMmmm delicious

You just gotta ask the right people (and give a lot of HJs).

Seriously though, I inquired on CL and after some correspondence the owner seemed flabbergasted and told me it was mine for $100. I guess I was too inquisitive .

 

Nice find!

How does that BW trans hold up with the correct amount of boost behind it?

 

BW = backwards?

 

Borg Warner.

Type 37, pile of poop.

 

terribly from what i hear...

Nice buy!

 

What whats wrong with it again?

Nice find.


O wait, Auto Fail.

 

Very nice! Another oldie survives.

I think it would be worth a $100 without a trans!

 

Good find, nice car.

 

well it WAS working pretty good. it's being a tad bitchy now. when cold it won't shift into 3rd unless you are at redline, when it's hot it sometimes won't downshift into 2nd when floored unless manually pulled down with the shifter. if it does get down into 2nd, it won't upshift again unless it's revved up to 3500+. this is all on a "sometimes" basis. it works fine sometimes, not others.

basically it's holding, but the gears are hanging. Burnsside was suggesting that the valve body may be worn out. not sure. I also hear that brake band adjustments are the thing to do with these trannys that corrects shifting issues. the kickdown cable seems to be working freely not not binding (that I can tell)

 

pull the bottom pan off the trans and see what's sitting on it. If you're lucky it will only be dirty trans oil, if you're not lucky there will be bits of metal.

Apparently adjusting the bands really can help, but other times shit just falls apart and some of the stuff can't be fixed. There are some parts that wear into the trans case and can't be fixed after that point.

 

in the maint. records, it's had it's trans flushed at least 3 times (that in the last 5 years), so I'd suspect the fluid is still pretty clean. there is no record of the transmission fluid filter ever having been changed, so I will try that and a band adjustment. If it's still acting up after that, the 3 speed auto is going away

 

Man...


That's very clean.


Nice score!

 

Delorean bought best deal on the net. no joke!

nice save

 

Nice one! And wholly unfair too! Could you find me a convertible for say, $200?

 

define correct amount of boost! are you puting the auto threw more hell then it was meant for?


and if the autos leaving, lets see some rollbacks.... get her going 40 MPH or so and throw her in reverse, then when you get the rev limitor in reverse, hit drive, repeat.... and videotape, or atleast get pics... im waiting for my 900 to lose a toothe on hte pinion, there will be videos...

Yeah, no shit.


I for one, would like to see a C900 do a damn burnout. It's like forbidden fruit.

The video of that grey one laying huge smokies on the tree-lined road does not count either.

well what do you mean by "burnout"? when ever you hold the brake, mash the gas to the floor to get it spooling, and let the brake go, boom, burn out :lol: clearly this depends on how long the brake / gas have been on at the same time. with a light touch on the gas with the brake applied, just enough to get it up around 1800 RPM's, and then letting off on the brake while going to full throttle makes it take off like a shot with no loss of traction. makes for a 0-60 time of 6 seconds flat!

 

Pretty damn nice for $100!

 

Yeah you suck! That car is bad ass. Too bad its not a 5 speed.

 

sweet c900 for $100 - holy (*#$%

sometimes all good dogs need a bone ! tuffy, youse a good bitch !
