If you lived closer and I wasnt in the process of buying the house I'd snag this up in a heartbeat (I sooo wanna garage the 8 for the winter next year).

What kind of condition is it in aside from the busted tranny? How are the rest of the systems? Basically, if I fixed up the trans, how much other work would there be to get this thing to the point where someone would buy it?

I'm looking at this as a possibility of rebuilding the trans and selling it.. my dad is a transmission rebuilder, so he could do the rebuild cheap, but the inspection is a pretty big part of the selling process.. :-/

Chris, with the title of the thread i was expecting something far worst. I think a guy over on the NY board is looking for a daily.

Fixing the trans is gonna be too expensive.. the rebuild kit alone is considerably more expensive than most others, otherwise I'd be getting this. Thanks anyway
