I went to start my NYB today and when I turned the key to the crank position I heard a 'pop and crack' sound and it seemed like everything went dead. Now when I go to crank it none of the lights light up on the dash and the starter will not crank. I replaced the starter relay but it did not...
Thank you again Dave. The read end had some clanking shifting from drive to reverse. The old fluid looked like complete sludge Hope the sound will be reduced with the new fluid change.
Thank you again for your help.
Best Regards',

Thanks for the help.
Here is the picture of the trunk that the owner sent me. I also received a picture of the side. Both sides of the car have scratches all the way down the car. He suggested a wet sand and new paint on the sides as the scratcher are deep. The seller is asking 9K and turned down 7K from another...
Thanks for all the advice. I just Talked with him. He is a member here on C-Bodies. The car has been in the same family since new. He asked to buy it over 1 1/2 years ago and just got it recently. The only reason he bought it was because he told the owner that he would and felt obligated...
