1989 maxima SE for sale or part out

Lately I've been wanting so bad to own another third Gen, but they are so hard to find these days in any condition. This one I bought sight unseen, got it home only to find it has a blown head gasket. It's not mixing water with oil, but exhaust side is pressurizing the cooling system. It will still take off like a freight train, but smokes like one too. Over all the car is a bit too rough to really do much with so I've given it another try and bought another one.

This car will be giving up its gas tank, but I will take a running video before it gets removed. I will sell the car whole with the other car's gas tank, or I will part out. If I part out I will keep the manual trans and conversion parts (does a vg manual bolt up to a VE?) . Interior is black leather, passenger seat I believe is OK, drivers seat and top of rear seat not so much. Body is very straight. Let me know if there is any interest.

Why don't you replace the engine? Be the first to do a VC swap. The car looks good. Keep it on the road.

Ditch what accord? I don't own one...

I was going to get a parts car but ended up finding one whole for the price of a parts car. If someone wants to save it, here's the opportunity.

I was thinking $500. I took a running video of it just now but so far haven't been able to upload it. I'm about to drop the tank.

I have not been on this sight in years until recently and even now when I post I can't see my sig, so I wasn't aware it was still there. It's way out of date though, probably back to 2012 or 2013. The only car on that list I still own is the 240sx. Therefor the Accord has long since been "ditched".

Fixed.

And he wouldn't be the first. It was done some years ago.
