MapQuest says it's 80 miles from Alhambra to Lancaster.
I don't live to far from Lancaster, but I wouldn't be able to do a PPI until this weekend. If Dan can't do it before then, I might be able to go. Or if Dan can make it on Saturday, I'll be glad to go with him. |

Spoke - My father was looking into that car last month. Gooseguy84 went by to see it sometime prior - here was his feedback. Additionally, I was told the motor was a 2.0 bus motor - not sure if that matters to you.
T QUOTE QUOTE Hi Gooseguy84, Did you see the car for sale in Lancaster last week? Can you tell me anything about it? Are you still looking at it to buy and if not why? Thanks Trevor QUOTE Message Forwarded From Carlitos Way You might want to PM/e-mail Gooseguy84. He was going to see the car last week. Yes I saw the car, i was really bumbed. Just to give you a quick quick note. There is no front trunk floor. Theres just a big hole cut out. He kind of forgot to mention that, the car seems to need alot more work then he said. gas gauge dosent work right, jsut as one example he didnt mentione before i got there. If its close i guess you can look at it, there isnt much rust on the floors that are in the car. the engien he said reves really bad due to the carbs not being jetted and clean, but idk about that plus the tach dosent work , it just bounces all over the place. the weather stripping is HORRIBLE and the windows rattle liek crazy. The interior was only OK, i was really dissapoint honeslyty. def not worth more then 2500 or 3000 iff that |

Thanks for the feedback. This is not the info that I was hoping to get but it is much appreciated since I can't look at the vehicle myself.
Can someone give me a background on a bus motor and one that would be fitted with a 2.2L big bore kit. What's the good, bad, and ugly about a 2.2L bus motor? About the hole in the trunk, could this have been for the air conditioning unit? Owner says the AC unit is out of the car. Spoke |

I bet the hole is from the AC unit if removed; I've seen them mounted there before.

Owner confirmed that the hole is for the AC unit that's in his garage.
About the bouncing Betty tach gauge, could this be a sign of bad points? Did Gooseguy84 drive the car? I was wondering what kind of power a 2.2L bus engine would have. I want to replace the engine anyway with a big T4. Spoke |
