'92 SHO MTX - Bartlett, IL

[VampyreGTX]

Well, I think I'll be parting ways with my '92 White MTX. I just don't have the time or ability to fix it back up. I'd love for it to go to a good home for some TLC (I don't want to junk it) but, I just don't know if it's worth trying to sell.
The car starts, BUT, as soon as it's warmed up, any touch of the gas, kills it and it won't restart for at least 30 minutes. I know it did have issues with the fuel pump.

Otherwise, it's got about 94K miles and looks great. I know the A/C didn't work (clutch), small antifreeze leak (think it's pinhole in a hose somewhere) and it needs new tires. The drivers side door tumbler also is not functional, but it will open with the code, just not with the key. Oh, and the parking brake sticks if used. I believe that's all!

So, any ideas on what to do? (wow, making this post is actually more difficult than I thought.) Do I start looking at trying to sell it, junk it, or what?!

Nothing worth junking. If you'd consider selling it, let me know I'd like to try fixing it up.

PM sent, definitely don't want to junk it. It's not easy even thinking of selling it. Just don't really have the time or resources to fix it up. Ironically, I was a Grand Prix GTP guy before the SHO, bought this SHO after I moved to Florida for a year back in 2002 and brought it back from there. Only had 68K on it at the time IIRC.

Oh yeah, I did want to add it does also have new front motor mounts installed about 2 years ago.

I don't have the time or place to part out. Sorry!

If you were closer I'd be interested. Good luck in your quest to give her a good home!

Car is washed and tucked away for winter. We'll take a look at it when weather warms up. Defently a solid clean car. Has a few flaws but we'll take care of them and make a nice summer driver.
Thanks Andrew. We'll keep you posted when we get it up and running like it should.

Agreed. Thanks Andrew and family!

Thanks you two! Definitely went to a great home. Funny saying it, had a dream last night that I drove it and it ran perfect, so I was gonna ask for it back! First time I dreamt about a car!
