Buy the pictures it looks to be a very nice ride. What really matters is what you think of it.

 

Very nice, looks clean. 71 is the best year in my opinion too.

 

Well I was just looking for opinions about the car. it is wasnt very expensive and it has some nice wheels, tires are good, interior has been customized, etc... it does have a little bit of rust here and there but overall seems pretty solid. for the 4K I spent on it, if I put another 1K to fix the rust etc... it should serve me well I guess....

 

very nice out of the box. Great start on a sweet mav

 

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you end up paying for it?

 

He doesn't mind.....

 

Well I paid $4000, what do you think of that? I have looked at alot of cars for more money in worse shape, so this one kind of fit with what I wanted and what was already done to it. Do you think I paid too much?

It has disk brakes on all 4 and was hoping I could shed some light on what kind they are. I will take some closer pictures once I get it home... hopefully with some help from this sites members we can determine what I have, so I can get some new pads or whatever when needed..

 

I think its a great price for a great car.

Edit: I cant believe i missed that.

Turn them tires so the white letters are on the outside.

 

Great looking car. First thing I would do is remove those air shocks in the rear. Dont want to repair any holes in the trunk? As far as rear discs, your limited to what rear end fits into these cars, granadas, monarchs and explorers. (correct me if im wrong)

 

dont forget 4runners. me and my brother-in-law were having a laugh about that because he was looking at wheel-bases he could use to replace his horridly over-raised and poorly working suspension and the damage its caused to his axles.

 

thanks guys...its always a good feeling when youre told you got a good car for a good price... the disc brakes are already on the car... I just dont know what kind, check out the picture below, you can see the caliper, maybe one of you can identify them? either way once I get it home I'll take some close ups...

 

Interesting, is there a 9 inch under there? (ill go take a look)

 

I cant see!

Kind of looks like one!

 

are you being sarcastic? I'm not too familiar identifying rear ends (at least ones without cheeks ) Is it a 9" rear if so, would that mean it is Posi?
