My 87 745 needs a new home 700 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Newguy on  Wed Jul 26 11:17 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I am the second owner of this 745, and it just turned over to 300,000 miles. Seemingly all within a few weeks this car needs a bunch of work...

-huge rock hit windshield and it needs replacment
- somebody needed my Pioneer CD player more than me so they broke the front pass window to get it and ripped up a bit of the dash in the process.
- the exhaust system needs replacment. It came undone at the cat. and from there back is DOA
- the tranny has the famous rear bushing wobble/leak
- the headliner is saggy

The car runs and drives nice and the motor is strong along with the trans.

Body is generally in ok condition, a little rust and some cracked bondo from a previous repair on the rear fender...

does anyone want this beautiful machine? should I junk it? sell it for parts?

It does have the following "newer" parts

-wire harness
- exhaust header
- driveshaft carrier bearing and hanger
- checkball in the trans (cause of hard 1-2 shift) fixed


anyone? I have no interest in fixing this one up at this point, as its just another extra car now.

Cheers!

Stefan
