Well, hopefully it's going to a good home. Just think though, now you can focus on the Celicas more.

Same old song and dance on eBay, lots of views and watchers but no one contacting me... That's ok of course I'd have to get slack on the T/A forum on selling it, saying I should just put in a built TH350 etc... so on and so forth on how it's sad to see another project given up on. Still doesn't solve the fact I couldn't drive it when it's more than 70º outside because of the A/C isn't working, that and I just don't like automatics or want one. I don't care that automatics are supposedly more consistent or whatever, if I cared about that I'd get a computer controlled manual that shifts in milliseconds. I don't trust them and I genuinely just despise them at this point. It's hard enough having to sell it and I don't need to explain why I can't just go out and do everything like a normal person. Should've never bought the damn thing, should've never given in on something I knew I wouldn't like, should've just held out for what I knew I'd really want. Tired of making the wrong decisions and tired of being reminded how useless I am every time I meander outside and look at it. Was so pissed off it threw me into a flare and I've been motionless on the couch all day up until now...

I think you'd do better if you did an auction with a buy it now option This post has been edited by 1994Celica: Sep 28, 2015 - 10:07 PM -------------------- JDM Part King

It plays Dixie?
 I just don't know about auctions, too many people back out and then get stuck with fees. I've on and off have thought about Craigslist, but I really just hate using it. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Well I used up my last free listing putting it back on there. Which had someone else stop and look at it and supposedly their son restores cars and they took my number to give to him, so we'll see.

Bought the heavy wire and waterproof fuse holder needed, will be here early next week hopefully. Then I can get wiring. In the mean time I'll pop the bumper down to work on mounting the horn better for louder sound. Also will pull the other headlight and strip the ****ty clear and hand it off to be re-cleared better.

I give up, this one goes for $3,000+ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pontiac-Firebird-E...%3D181883814620
and is rusted out in the quarters and side and the interior is completely trashed, but I guess all of that isn't as bad as needing the trans rebuilt or replaced.

A crappy 305 that no one wants. The only time the original engine matters is if it's a 400 or 455.
I'm tired of cars, I'm never buying one again. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Hide the car from ebay. Platidip it all. Bang the rears and use a new user name so it looks its a different car

Well at this point I'm out of free listings. I've never had a car pull so much interest but then no one comes up with the money to buy it, it's absolutely frustrating.

Don't have full coverage for one, and two what is it with everyone here and insurance fraud.
 I guess it'll just sit and rot away like most of them have.
