Located between Rockford, IL and Chicago.

Car is in one piece and I was driving it Sunday 4/3/16.

Mainly needs a mechanic and the interior tidied up.

It has a broken rod and you were driving it? Any interior shots?

Hi GroovyJay,
I'm only guessing it is a rod. It was running strong around town then started dying whenever I stopped. I got it home and it sounded pretty bad The next time I cranked it. I stopped cranking immediately.

I'll post some interior pictures shortly.

I have the Kenwood after market radio. I took it out and was going to make a storage bin for my cell phone and garage opener.
