What do you think about this 89 LX

slider · 10-15-2001, 11:35 AM

A friend of mine is selling me an 89 LX (race project)with no engine, tranny, winshield, computer and wiring for $900.

It has the following though...........
a brand new tubular K member, springs - adjust. coil overs, new dash, cluster, 160 mph speedo guage, 3.55s with outburn, upper control arms, sub connectors, and 2 1/2 complete exhaust.

it has everything else ...good paint all around, including engine bay, hood, new front bumper, rear windows, and seat(s) are nice..

what do you guys think?

sounds like a great deal to me, you could probably get twice what you paid for it by parting it out, but it sounds like a good race car project car
strip everything out of it now to make it as light as possible, then throw in a stroked 351 and a C4 and your ready to go rompin!

I think if I lived closer I'd come buy it, $900 is a steal the front suspension is worth that.
