Super Trooper?

can anyone vouch for these? It looks rad and priced well; anything I should know?

That's a deal. I sold a mint one two years ago for 6k.

CL seller said: No title, bill of sale on this baby

Is that old enough not to need a title in GA?

Do it. Great deal.

No title, would make it a $500 parts car around here. I don't know about GA.

No, it's not. 1985 and older vehicles can be registered without a title; this one is too new.

I'm confused about this 2.8L V8 talk. Confused and uncomfortably excited, actually. That's not really a thing that you'd find in one these, is it? I see there's something about squashing 'Busa motors together to get that, but unless there's a clever disguise going on here, that can't be what this is...

I had one for a while. The pros are great visibility and genuine utility. It's an honest SUV, not just a tall station wagon. The cons are underpowered, loud, poor handling and not very good gas mileage. It was reliable for me, but the friend that I sold it to didn't fare as well.

yeah its a 2.6 v6. I'm not sure what that's about. I emailed the guy and he is gonna send me some more pictures.

Should have a 2.8 V6 (GM 60 degree V6) or a 2.6 I4.

The 2.8 is hit or miss on durability, but they are weak sauce. The I-4 had a tendency to warp heads, but otherwise was OK with a manual trans.

In reply to Tom Suddard:

its a 2.8 v6 typo on my end

In reply to spitfirebill:

how weaksauce are we talking?

Should be something like 120 hp and 140 ft-lbs. stock. But 2.8 Troopers are great because the 3.4 out of a Camaro is damn near a bolt-in affair and will get you another 40 hp and 40 ft-lbs before any other modifications.

Vermont doesn't require titles before...1996 I believe, and they're more than happy to register a non-resident.

Then you take their paperwork to your title place and blammo. Titled.

In reply to Osterkraut:

Do they require physical inspection or just a bill of sale.
