WTB: any extremely cheap car

[RXMmazdaspeed]

looking for a beater no more than 300 bucks. i just need it to run and have the engine/trans be in decent shape. exterior/interior shape doesnt really matter to me. if anyone can help please let me know.

update.. i am looking for some time of conversion van or even an old carpenter style van. i'm thinking i could trailer my car to shows to keep it clean and also have a place for me and a friend to sleep instead of paying ridiculous prices for hotels/motels. again if anyone see's anything or hears anything about a van in the tri-state area please let me know. thanks.

dammit! you revised that to a van... i thought i finally had an opportunity to get rid of my dodge aries... lol

 

[RXMmazdaspeed]

yeah lol sorry.. i figured i could tow my car to shows and this is going to enable me to sit the car while i work on all the minor dinks and get my car back to perfect condition. so im just going to kill 2 birds with one stone.

hey, if i dont end up going with the van, and do go with a car instead, how much are you selling it for. and what is the condition of the motor/trans/etc... also if youd like you can send me pics to kman4523@hotmail.com. thanks.

surprising as it may be it runs great (my parents bought it new in 88, lol)... the engine, trans... all great, the only problem is it failed inspection because the check engine light is on, we pluged it in and its only a sensor. it has since then been retired to "motorized wheelbarrow" and "portable shed".

right now i have someone stopping to look at it & the plymouth sundance for his son. right now it looks like he is more interested in the sundance, we will see. so whatever is left i will post pictures of tonight. i was thinking $250 would be good for the aries and if you like the tires on the cavalier better you can switch to get the best set... and the dodge shadow is a parts haven if you want anything off that too. (yeah my yard is a domestic junk yard)

'K' is just the body style...the Dodge Aries, Plymouth Reliant, etc are referred to as 'K cars'.

I used to have one....a 1987 blue Aries with grey vinyl seats. Took about 30-35 seconds to get to 60!!

turbo model made 140hp, and with a mopar ecu, 3bar mapsensor, and FMIC you can run 30psi and have your self reliable 12second car as long as you have a fresh supply of head gaskets

 

[Lord_Zath]

30 psi = reliable?

 

[Aricjm15]

30 psi = reliable?

google search for the turbo minivan,

the engines had a 8:1 compression ratio and rods that would hold up to tank fire
