you can order real metal gas cans from Amazon. Several different styles. Not cheap, but not junk, either. I have one of the NATO spec cans with a flexible metal spout that I carry in my 4x4. Works great, no stupid safety crap that makes it less safe.

Its clean because its a sedan. If it were a convertible or a coupe it would be a complete rust out. Just the way it goes...

79 T/A in Colorado $5000. If it really has 20K miles it's easily worth the asking price.

"1979 Pontiac Firebird Tras AM. This is the anniversary addition. We got this car when graduated from college. Last time it ran was in 1998 when we took it in for a transmission work. The work never got completed and we ended up keeping in our garage for years."

From scrolling through the pics, I doubt that mileage total. I think a lot of the appeal of an “original, low mileage” car wears off when it needs a full restoration.

He claims it's the 'anniversary edition'..... what anniversary? It's got a buckskin interior and snowflake wheels.

In spite of all the poorly lit photos I can see that the passenger door has a a big crease at the molding.

Guessing its probably 220,000 miles - or at least 120,000

i think its a Gold car, with Camel interior , 15x7 Flakes
Long way from being an Anniversary Edition or Y package
but its still worth something

Not craigslist but recently posted on a local Facebook for sale page.



Harbor Freight Generator
$10 · 16101

Message
Have you ever dreamed of owning a tool that you had to work on every single time you needed to use it? Are you tired of owning a quality, dependable generator because you hate yourself deep down inside and can only find fulfillment and purpose through self deprecation and chaos? Well, friend, do I have the generator for you.
This generator comes equipped with a random start and run function, which means reliability is a thing of the past. Does it leak fuel? Yes, of course it does! Will it start occasionally, giving you the false hope that you can get work done, only to have your dreams and projects dashed? Absolutely.
You'll notice that I customized the front of the generator. I European modded it with my boot. A smashed front grill is all the rage in Europe right now among generator enthusiasts. A wing/spoiler and some altezza turn signals and you'll be tearing arse around town and the envy of all of your friends.
New spark plug, new pull start mechanism. Runs if you try hard enough and really believe. You'll likely need a young priest and an old priest to get it working reliably... It's likely possessed by some cheap tool daemon.
$10 seems fair for the new pull start and spark plug.
