    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    Well my friends life my have foiled my plans! I have been back and forth on this green 95 and I have just had a situation where I can no longer store the car on the premises if I were to purchase it! I guess this just isn't the right time. :( I have no idea how expensive a storage facility would...

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    I really appreciate all of your advice and thoughts on this matter friends! While that car is not what I was hoping it was I am debating one now. I found a Gen 1 1995 with 28k miles on it for a very reasonable price. I hope to see it in the next couple weeks in person if it is still available...

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    This is not good my friends! I was so close with this one that I have really been bitten by the bug! I am currently looking at a Gen 1 with 28k on it for high 20s. Looks like it is in great shape. Have not seen it in person yet though. Any thoughts on Emerald Green? haha

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    I really appreciate your input guys. I hate to have it sit and die. I'm just afraid that in the condition it is in I'm just asking for trouble. My thought process was to try and take a neglected old car and bring life to it. Give it a second chance. I love the old RT and thought it would be a...

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    Hello MoparMap, Thanks for your input. The trans doesn't scare me either. Its just the cars overall condition. Repaint would eventually be required, reconditioning the wheels, new tires, new windshield, new weather stripping, probably some interior components would need to be replaced. And that...

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    Well friends I think we have an answer to the question of rescue. Unfortunately it is not the answer I hoped. I inspected the car today and it was a lot worse off than I thought. The passenger side rocker panel was bubbling like hell with rust underneath, it appears the car was repainted as...

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    100% Agree with you guys. 20k is way too high for the work needed. It is proceeding so far just as Bonkers said! The hood appears to be in good condition so that is one massively expensive part down. Our next step is we will do a thorough inspection of the car with the owner and point out all of...

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    Ok so my friend called and got some info. The car has about 60k on it. It as bought at a police auction. The car lost fourth gear and needs a new transmission. The owner wants to hand it off to someone who would want to fix it as he does not have the time or money to do so. It needs tires as...

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    I was able to grab some pics and get some info. It is a 1998. I ran a vin check on it and there are no reported accidents or salvage titles etc. Tires are completely shot. Not sure about any mechanicals, but it definitely needs some tlc.

    How to know if a rescue attempt makes sense

    Hello All, I sadly did not get a chance to take pictures. For the last year or more I have noticed a silver RT/10 that has been sitting at a local service shop gathering dirt and grime outside. It has not moved to my knowledge in that time however a couple years ago it would be moving around...
