A Mitsubishi engine will go a long way as long as after it gets to 100,000 miles you put oil in it about as often as you put gas in it.

Default K car limo.

Those curtains give way too much of a "hearse" vibe off for my taste.

All the movie stars had k-car limos - that's a good one. He's hoping that whoever buys it is under 30 so they won't remember what pieces of crap those k cars were.

Ain't that the truth. They either leak out the seals like a stuck pig or wear the rings out. The pre mid-90s all had an early to the junkyard reputation.
That one at 119,000 is about due to begin transitioning into a crop duster.

We bought my wife a used Plymouth Voyager with that engine back in the mid 90s. She killed practically every mosquito in the county.

I believe when they spec'd out rings and bearings for those engines they went with lead.

Thats a shame & a mess.

"Car was hit on drivers side by plow passenger side hit two trees Car has no more than 2000 miles since rebuilt"

My question is what was it doing out on the streets in MA when a Plow would be out?

It looks like a lot of damage for a $15000 asking price

Tired of passing cars that all look the same?

How about a change of pace?

https://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/6021246531.html

Its rusty, but for $2,500, you'd own the only one like it.

Only a couple of hours from me.

If I could I'd restore it and rent out for Pontiac lovers funerals.
Looking at the demographics in the Street section age poll, looks like it'd get some work over the next few decades.

I had one of those, but it was a '53. The previous owner used it to tow a race car. Had a lot of custom woodwork in the interior that rotted badly.

Last year I was at the landfill to drop off some trash. A couple guys in an old hearse pulled in and backed up to the bin. Everyone stopped and looked over to see just what they were throwing out when he opened that rear door.
I see it around from time to time now, got sort of a rat rod Munster's theme going on with it.
