I found a tore up 89 daytona turbo for sale at a dealer in oldsmar the interior isnt all that bad and it has those fancy electric bucket seats.. its got like 80000 miles on it but the motor sounds terrible the sales guy said he thinks the cam is shot it sounds like rocks in a blender until you rev it up a little then it doesnt sound as bad.

Think its worth $400 or should I look for a lighter car to start with?

 

look at this daytona...

yea that one IS nice but I am looking for something CHEAP to start with... (that was in caps not because Im yelling just to stress how cheap its gotta be ) I am talking a car for like $500 or less but I still want something that I can work with not a total basketcase...

 

ive seen them running in the 13s to 10s. that is a good deal. if you find out whats wrong let me know and i have a hook up to get the part cheaper. jpawlik@hotmail.com

 

What is the name of this dealership in Oldsmar?

 

its a little used car lot across from the McDs on Tampa Rd.

J.D.Goss Auto House I believe..

uhh... why do ya ask?

 

Daytonas are good but heavy. A friend of mine has one weighing 2960 and ran a 13.6 @ 103+ This was with a stock engine. The car would pull dead even with an ss camaro on the street. If you want light a turbo L body is vbest (charger omni)

 

HOOTERS!!!

(thanks Ken)

 

MY PLEASURE (TRUST ME IT WAS) . BTW the tona in that pic ran a 12.57 @ 112.9mph

 

Umm Well if you need parts or a parts car. I have a 85 Laser Turbo Im trying to get rid of. Couldnt get it running so dont know if it will start or not. I would say this is better for parts. There is water in the oil so more than likely a blown head gasket. It is a 5-speed. electronic dash that funky electronic seat with the air pump for the drivers lumbar. LMK if you need anything. It has 4 lug pizza wheels. Nice body parts however.
