PLEASE NOTE that I am not the seller of this vehicle! Contact the seller through the info provided in the following Craigslist ad.

https://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/d/ ... 21032.html

ad placed on Craigslist 4/2/18:

238,000 miles, 6 speed 4WD, 3AC Engine, Good Tires

This was a running vehicle until just recently. I think it needs a carburetor. It will start and rev, but will not go. I pulled the O2 sensor to rule out a clogged exhaust, I don't think that is the problem. It seems to run very rich. Float level is OK.

It's had a new distributor, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, air filter, fuel filter very recently. The engine itself is strong. Compression test results were 120 on all 4 cylinders.

This would make a good parts car or a fixer-upper with some effort.

Problems with the car, aside from the carb, are; it needs a transmission and steering rack. The distributor and battery have been removed.

The car will have to be towed, it does not run.
