identifying 4-eye years?

KurtPB · Apr 14, 2008

i've seen one sitting at a farm house, not the greatest... paints rough and it has some surface rust and underneath has plenty of surface rust... an old car, in iowa, so it's expected. i was just curious how i could identify the year. the grill looks like that of a 79 or early 80s. also, where a hood ornemant would be, there's a circle that whatever was on it was worn off. i was just curious 'cuz i would like to find a cheap notch for my 2.3t out of an 88 TC and this would fit the bill.

sounds like a 79 to 83

79-82 pics would help

sorry, didnt take any and driving 12 miles for it... eh, nah. being of those years, it'd probably be too much work swapping an 88 2.3t drivetrain into it.

should have a black grill and the circle was where a running pony emblem used to be.

Being anything other than an svo its going to be a pain

I'd think swapping in the drivetrain would be the easy part. restoring a car in that shape is likely a losing proposition

Could just get the VIN

But if the underside is rusted to hell..why bother??

Its easy to find an areo nose

KurtPB · Apr 15, 2008

not necessarily this one even though the rust i did see could probably be taken care of with a lot of sand-blasting, eh? oh, and yes, it did have a black nose when i seen it. also, i dont see why anything other than an svo would be a pain, especially if it already had an auto 2.3 drivetrain(i'm looking strictly for automatics since that's what i want). i was curious about that though, we have the motor and it's ecu/harness. i was told that i would need a pump in the tank, but i'd just go with a new tank to be safe, new fuel lines, but the person didnt know when it came to dealing with the engine/bay and the harness.

If it has the round emblem on the hood then it's a '79-82, they stopped using them from '83 on.
