'90 Cabriolet engine FS - $100 by
ThaDriver
The engine is supposed to be good, but I didn't hear it run. It had lost
spark & I'm using the body for the mid-engine V8 project so I didn't
bother to get it running. Over 200,000 miles. I'm above Atlanta about 60

You can email me at ImThaDriver at yahoo.
