It's got a cam in it.

I always reply...good deal, since it probably wouldn't run to well without one in it!

Another that used to crack me up back in the old "auto trader" days.......don't see it as much anymore. The phrase "won't last long". Yea........I can tell by the picture..........that car won't be around for much longer!

Pictures don’t do it justice! You’re right it looks far worse in person

A POS listed for say $6000 and the person says worth $20k when restored. My thought is, go ahead and restore it then and make the big bucks

I've heard the argument it is General MOTORS too. But that don't make it right! LOL It does have a starter motor, blower motor, wiper motor, etc though.

I found out the hard way that "new" can have a different meaning when I purchased my car. It was loaded with "new" worn out junk parts when I took delivery. Apparently it was "new" to my car, but not a "new" part when installed.

At what point are replacement parts no longer considered "new"????
