not running, he said it needs the timing chain tensioners to run. i dont know much about 240's this would be my first car that's not a honda. he said there only like 15 bucks from the auto parts store.

I dunno... the "not running" combined with the haphazardly spray painted engine scares me.

yea i hear ya. just seems hard to pass up cause it's cheap, but i also don't want some p.o.s. that i end up junking or just selling for parts. damn i hate these kind of dilemma's . lol

automatic?

the onlything worth a damn on that car is the wheels IMO.
