Default Question before buying.....

I got word on a Dana 44 for sale out of a 90 with 3.33 gears, complete including rotors, rear spring, everything ready to be bolted in for $1000. Should I buy it? Or will the cost of refurbushing it outweigh the cost of getting one from a newer model?

for a 44, that is a good price, IMO. I passed on one last year and regret it.
FWIW, Tom @ Coopers is VERY familiar w/ the Dana 44 swap :yesnod:

I think that is an excellent deal from what I've seen. Why would you have to refurb. it. Did it have alot of miles on it or has it been sitting a while? Just curious.

it has some surface rust on it and came from a wrecked vette. have no idea on mileage of the rear, or condition of the internals.
