Wanna own the pimpin-est ride ever? Well this aint it
But it's cheap and it runs!! And you could probably pimp it out...
Specs: 1986 Chevy Celebrity 4 Dr. Sedan 2.8L V6 OHV 12V Fuel Injected Automatic Trans. AC (works good) AM / FM Cassette Power Steering Alloy Wheels About 220K miles*
*Note: This is a mileage estimate (and I estimated high), the speedometer and odometer do not work.
I drove the car for about 2.5 years (approx 125 miles / week) with only a few problems. There are no known mechanical problems with the car. Items that I replaced over the last 2.5 years**
Radiator Alternator Ignition Control Module Fuel Pump Fron Brakes & Rotors CV Boots Battery & Cables Muffler And of course oil changes and tires as needed
**Most of these repairs were done initially on this car to get it to run in the first place.
Items that probably need to be replaced soon. Rear brakes (maybe rotors too)
But honestly -- it aint much to look at. Damage to right rear quarter panel and left front fender headliner sags and is held up with thumbtacks some problems with front driver & passenger windows -- they'll roll up and down but sometimes they need some help.
An interesting note: This car has passed NC inspections (including emissions) every year without fail. The car needs to be inspected now, but as of 2006 this vehicle no longer requires the emissions test.
Send me a message if interested and I'll shoot ya some pictures 8/28/2006 3:00:50 PM |

Those are very good offers but...ummm...no! The wheels, tires, and glass alone are worth more than $500. And the thing actually drives.
Pictures posted in my gallery -- sorry for the delay. 8/29/2006 7:42:43 PM |

PS: I will be giving the car a thorough washing and vacuuming before the sale is finalized, so it'll be cleaner than it looks in the pics 8/29/2006 8:22:50 PM |

Example: Aachen used auto glass
For 86 Celebrity
Windshield $75 Front door glass $40 each Rear door glass $30 each Rear window $60
= $275 Just for glass
Maybe I should just strip this car and sell the parts - I could probably get about $2500 for all the parts. Nah, too much work.
$500 for a car that actually runs is a sweet deal
Everyone thank big blue ram -- price just went up to $1500 8/30/2006 12:00:15 AM |
