Well guys as alot of you know Im relocating to the "big city" and my 2 project eagles were given up to a new home. Im having to down size alot. I was not happy about having to get rid of half my rides including my trusty chevy truck. My wife insisted I get rid of it cuz of its size and gas mileage.. but this story has a silver lining....or should I say Silver with black and red lining  8) ...Vangremlin tipped me off to this SX4 a while back for sale in Loveland. I told myself if my truck sells before the Eagle does im going to buy it...cuz after all its technically downsizing  ;D Long story short the truck sold and Im picking it up this week...Its about 150 miles/2.5 hrs away so Ill get to know her pretty good by the time I get home...My buddies following me with a tow rope though just in case but by what Ive been told its a daily driver with about 90,000 miles so she should be fine...I plan on doing a photo log of her maiden voyage home.

Thats awesome your geting it .I went and looked at it and it was really nice i was wanting to cheack out the spoiler on it because i just got one for mine.




shanebo

Thanks guys! Im pretty jazzed about it...Its a manual 4 speed and I think its 4.2L I havent even seen it yet....bought it sight unseen...I guess I was too excited about getting the thing...It did just pass emissions so it must run ok...as long as it runs good ill be happy no matter which engine it has.

Hey amcman is that the car im buying in that picture? Ad is yours the one that was for sale up in denver a while back?

Maddog, Im moving to either colorado springs or fountain....I was wanting to move to Pueblo because most of my accounts are in pueblo, canon city, and all those out laying towns like lamar, rocky ford and  la Junta...My wife refused to move to pueblo though...she said its too hot in the summer.

Yeah I thought you would like to see that ...I bought it in fort Collins a few weeks ago And I live in Loveland so I wanted to check it out.Glade you got it!!!

You are killing me! I have never even seen an SX4 in Florida. I just refuse to buy with only picters as neither of mine were what they looked like on film. Maybe I will get lucky at Mecum's in Kissimmee Fl at the end of Jan. If not I am going to try for a 1970 Chevelle.

Very nice my friend.  Can't wait to see it in person.

the Red/Black and Charcoal / Black are the nicest on the SX4. End caps and all? You dirty rotten @%^*(+?

shanebo

Im kinda kicking myself now for not grabbing more parts off the sx4's ive run across in junk yards. I did grab the rear end caps off one though so atleast I got those for a start.
