Built 2.6kb Cobra For Sale.....Motor Problems

[tohighpsi]

Here is the story. To be honest I bought this car when I really shouldnt have. I over extended myself by getting it and pretty much wiped out my bank account. I havent even really had a chance to enjoy the car yet and have ran into some problems. Today while out I pulled on the car through third gear and shifted into fourth and lost power. Saw alot of smoke out the back and pulled over. Car had oil all over the top of the motor and in the exhaust. Car was still running had oil preasure and never got hot. Pretty much positive I broke a ring and am getting blow by. Well like I said I am dead broke and have no money to fix the car. So im willing to eat some money and sell the car the way it sits. Like I said the car still runs and is one of the cleanest terminators you will find. Im not going to post a price but I have something in mind. I need to sell the car but it will sit before I give it away for nothing.

Ok here is the post from the ad that I bought the car from. This is outlaw racer Tim Lynchs old street car.

You should atleast post what you are likely to take so people won't bug you about price. And good luck with the sale its a tough market out there.

Ok I guess I could save everybody and myself some trouble. The bottom dollar I will take for the car is 18k. Anything less then that I will just let it sit and fix it. I would eat way to much money for anything less then that

The previous owner of the car is an engine builder at proline. He is willing to help me out but said he cant do it for free. The problem is I still have to pay to get it out back in and tuned. Plus figure out how to get it back down to ga

Free bump. I've seen this car a LOT as it used to be local to me and it's one of the cleanest Terminators that I've seen.
