500 up front 1000 over time for a total of 1500 I've actually seen this one and its sweet plus I'll have a parts car I plan on taking most the body parts from my omega in the yard and stansfering it. I've thought about this I don't have to sell the car just some parts to get my 500 down payment and I get a drive able car real soon plus no title Hassel ik its more money but I'll be able to get my license get a job and go places and pay on it.

oldstata

Hopefully it's some one you know with a payment plan I don't trust most people

MDchanic

Sounds like it makes good sense.

So when do we get to see the pictures?

$500 sounds like a good deal Bill. If you can
DRIVE it home...you say bring it home...?
100% interest doesn't sound to good though...
Good luck, with your decisions.

MDchanic

No, TruBlue - It was $1,500. $500 down, and then another $1,000 in payments.

So long as it's a $1,500 car, it's a good arrangement, and I'm in no position to judge what the car is worth without seeing it.

Same guy who i bought this omega from he has a title for this one tho and as soon as I get it to my yard I'll leave you guys in suspense as I have to sell some parts to make my money. I should this k things out more often it does me some good

billmerbach

Its the one he was trying to sell before bit he's cutting me a deal so I'm taking advantage of it

oldstata

Bill before making a decision why don't you take a few pic and post them up for us to see ? Is this the same guy you bought the other one from ?

MDchanic

Some of us take many, many years to learn this lesson.

- Eric

billmerbach

Yes sAME guy I'm waiting for some pictures he actually had this entered in car shows down at Charlotte motor speedway header panel is cracked but he's gonna return the one he took off mine to fix it so it'll be good I'll get some pics

oldstata

What did you pay for the first one ?
Will he take that one back and put the cash for the other one to lower the price some sense he sold you a car with out a title or proper paper work ?

The reason is basically tell you title it it's junk you could pull parts have it hauled off but if you had a title you could pull parts and get scrap price for the remainder

billmerbach

Nope not scrapping you guys sent money so I woulnd have to I'm standing by my word I'll part out but not scrap

Nvm guys he will only do 1500 even without trans and there's some rust holes in the wells and I got some more recent pics and it went downhill been outside in the elements and doesn't look as good as in those pics. Looks like I'll spend the money and get this omega running somehow.

coppercutlass

Not to be a debbie downer but you can find a running 80's g body for 1500. That's what they go for all day in my neck of the woods. Of course they will need some tlc but they are cheap.

billmerbach

That's what I got to thinking for that money I can get one with an engine and stuff I thoughts hed take about 500 off if I didn't get the trans but he's wanting 1500 even without it that's what really turned my interest down pulse little rust holes could be bigger than I think

oldstata

Dude keep a eye out I am trying to talk the wife into a 69 right now to buy for 500.00 no drive train needing quarters and interior they come along often usually when you don't have cash
I suggest work on your engine research the title bond and save alittle and see what comes your way

Maybe buy a beater that runs to get you around and build your weekend worrier

coppercutlass

I'm always trying to talk the wife about a 69 lol. Don't count out the rest of the bop groups. Buicks and pontiacs too. As long as its olds powered its all good lol.

oldstata

Lol not for 500.00
It's a post coup olds

coppercutlass

All pun intended jokes apart. My fiances dream car is a 69 cutlass. When I was 17 was working on a buick 350 powered 79 malibu. Sold it and got the cutlass. I regret it because I love those malibus and it was going to be buick powered. Don't be affraid to stick you olds engine in another car.

billmerbach

Yea I love olds mostly cause its my first car and stuff but if I wanted to get something to drop my engine In I'd like to get a buick regal lol. And the carter avb 9605S is similar to the 1405 which is a 1406 without the choke so a 9605S will in fact be a a perfect match yes?

billmerbach

At one point I considered putting it in my dads gran fury boy oh boy that would be a crafty piece lol drag race it and leave em wondering what the heck that Mopar is packing

coppercutlass

Let's keep it gm lol.

MDchanic

I agree that a rusty Nova with no transmission does not sound like a good deal for $1,500.

There's a lot out there - Just keep your ear to the ground and you'd be surprised what'll turn up.

- Eric

billmerbach

Gotta admit it'd be pretty cool

billmerbach

Yea I guess I'm just scared of having to do this bond with having to have my car valued and junk that's what has me worried

MDchanic

Well, a $100 bond, that is returned to you after a specified period, likely with interest, vs $1,500 for a junkyard refugee...

- Eric

oldstata

I ve had two cars that I bought that I had to track down banks due to lean releases not being met under DMV standerd it was a pain but not to costly I bet your making it worse than it really is

billmerbach

I probably am not even gonna lie

Also ik the carter afb 9605S is the equivalent of the 1405 edel but what the heck is the equivalent of the 1406 I'm trying to doc some research but can't get anywhere with it

coppercutlass

1406 and 1405 are the same carb the 1405 is tuned richer and is better for applications with headers. The 1405 had no electric choke. The 1406 is more of an eceonomy carb.

oldstata

I know the 1405 is a manual choke and the 1406 is eletric choke

I know that the eddies is a carter based carb but not sure what changes were made from the two
I do know they look exactly the same as I was going to use it cause mine was leaking after rebuild ended up just needing one of the plugs on the bottom it fell out during rebuild and I didn't catch it

billmerbach

So this is what me and oldstata are wondering can I take his base from his carter and slap my edelbrock top on and use the edelbrock rebuild kit

coppercutlass

I do belive edlebrock did some changes you have to look at both carbs and compare the passages and all that stuff

billmerbach

Really need just the throttle shaft will that be a direct fit for me

coppercutlass

Measure em up.

oldstata

I don't think I would attempt trying to take it out to me they look the same I would use the guts from yours and just aye the base

oldstata

billmerbach

Heck it all looks the same lol really want to just change out the shafts and keep it all edelbrock lol can you try those screws on the butterfly and see if they turn easily

oldstata

Bill you could always see if oldspackrat has another 1406/5 I bet he has a few siting around

billmerbach

He doesn't I asked lol I'm gonna buy yours lol just debating on what I should do is like to keep it numbers matching as far as top and bottom but I can't be choosy lol
