Here's the 95 2dr 4x4 aw-4 sport with 189K and a blown head gasket and maybe in need of new radiator. Interior clean. Has 8.25" rear and the front skid. I picked it up for $300. It just had $700 of work done on it: new pads, rotors, soft lines, "loaded calipers" and new tires put on it to pass VA inspection in March. This is the 2nd vehicle he has overheated w/in 4 months(was told not to keep running it if it's leaking coolant). It starts up and runs rough, but no hole in the piston like the 96 I got for $160.

Good score! With the state inspections here in the communistwealth at least you know all of the safety stuff is good to go on it.

Cat and back are w/in 2 years old, as is battery, and starter looks brand new. I took the head off yesterday and cleaned the carbon/gunk off the pistons and intake manifold. I still have to clean the head, tb, and iac. The exhaust mani has a 180* crack on one of the collectors probably due to the cracked motor mount and I broke the heater valve when removing the hose(you know how brittle those get--almost like cardboard, so it was bound to happen). Add a t-stat and worse case scenario a radiator(I dunno why it was leaking/overheated in the first place) and this baby will be back in tip top shape for $200.
