Most likely had it bouncing off the rev limiter in the snow. A car that's been garaged all it's life and then suddenly being driven in the snow? Has to be that.

Though a more likely story is I'm totally wrong.  :laugh: That car would probably be gone in a heart beat if it were anywhere north of the 49th.

I remember you telling me about that car! Seems a little high on the price for a car that doesn't run, but I hope someone can save it.

Hi Paul  it is sad if it was a gts stick I would offer a grand and pull the engine and see what went wrong fix it then drive it a bit or longer then keep it for parts for the cab.
