85 4wd Auto

Post by Typrus »

Hey guys. Thinking about selling the 85 auto trans Terc. The engine was put in at 123,000 and it now has 127,000 and change on it. I'm the 2nd owner.
Originally an east coast car, it does have some rust. Its not terrible and could be abated, and I did some abatement on it. Its covered in black spots where I ground to metal and Rustoleum coated the spots with the worst rust.
She has a new distributor, new plugs, wires, coolant hoses, carb rebuilt. I could put a fresh set of brakes up front if someone wanted, and a good set in back (I have new rotors, wheel cylinders, and lightly used shoes, drums, and pads on my 84)

Its the base model, so only a 2-speaker system, no tach, nothing fancy.


I'd love to get $1500 out of it, as the engine was about $1700 between the rebuild, the rebuilt harmonic balancer, the full balance job...


I'm hating every letter typing on here, as its my last running Terc, but it is what it is unfortunately.

Good to see you back - although not for the "right" reason... :(
