Retired my VX

[Chopper]

David?
Did you sell/trade the VX? Where? How much? I may try to get it back if they auction it....(perfect LS1/4sp candidate and I have the parts and goodies all at hand)
and.....
Whatcha think of the coil spring rear?
(I like the idea....but I pull way too much weight....53', tri-axle, Gooseneck car hauler. The big shiny Dually-Diesel Sivlerado does it....Yeoman style) ) Good luck Bud

Chopper, sent ya a PM...

John, Joe was the first person I contacted (via Facebook), but I've heard nothing back yet.

Everyone, I referenced I was trying to find any FL VXers interested first... honestly I'd rather put this stuff in the truck bed and go meet someone in person who can see exactly what condition they're in and make a decision and avoid shipping hassles. So far no bites, and if that continues I'll respond to you each individually and we can go from there if it comes to it. Sorry if I haven't answered all the PM's, got a lot going on.

VX Kat, yes I am still aiming for vet school, can't say for sure that's where I'll end up but it will be something along those lines. After this spring semester I will be transferring to complete my bachelor's and after that, will give vet school a shot.

It looks like I ended up with the VX from this conversation. Am taking it in to have the Radiator replaced today and find out what is up with the A/C. It worked last Friday evening in Tampa when I tested it on my test drive. Sunday after I got back home no cold air. Hooked to gauges and shows a charge, compressor runs but apparently just pushing freon around too fast for it to cool. Mechanic said possibly the expansion valve. That's under the dash I think so will be a pretty penny to fix. Let me know if there is anything else I need to take a look at. I plan on having it for the long haul and want to stay on top of things as much as possible.

Most of the HVAC components are under the dash on the passenger side (or behind the central column) - both are fairly accessible once you remove the glove box (4 screws) so the entire dash may not have to be removed.

Thank you John,

I dropped the VX off at the shop yesterday and ordered a new Kenwood Radio to be put in at the same time. Currently has the Isuzu with the cassette. Put a cassette (load adapter) in to be able to listen to Slacker on my phone but the cassette wouldn't engage. Cant get the cassette out now either. Shop foreman loved his Kenwood with blue tooth. We will see what next week brings.

I actually am across the state and south. About 2 and a half hours across HWY 60 and down the Turnpike. There were two VX's for sale within a few miles of each other. I managed to look at and purchase one of them. Maybe I should have looked at both but the photos of the one I got looked a bit better than the other and when I looked at the car in person, the photos didn't lie. Hopefully the A/C won't cost an arm and a leg to get working. Seems like everything else is in very good condition, despite my seeing the car run through a few "Rally" events in the photo page here.
