Has an R title. Was repaired with front end pieces of a different color. Frame is straight. 2cd gear synchro is bad. Needs a new guibo.

Can you give us a little more history on the car? I'm assuming there was some sort of front end collision. Does it run? Do you have any pictures of the engine bay?
Thanks.

First it was in an accident. Then it was reconstructed and put back on the road and beat on by an 18 year old. Need I continue? (kidding)

His dad owned a body shop that has a frame jig. Said they put it on the jig but the frame was already straight. They purchased all the front end parts off of us and put them on this car. Soon after this, he blew up the diff. So he sold it to us, and I put a diff in. That's basically all I know.

I'll get a picture of the engine bay for you.

You think?
Looks like the headlights are from a coupe.

Oh, and yes it runs. I drove it home and back last night There's a vibration from the drive train at certain RPM's. The guibo has seen better days. Yes, it was in a front end accident.

Hmmm no rudeness intended I promise but this poor ti is so sad lol I think the price is a bit steap considering its history.. specially with a salvage title.. I paid close to that for my ti.. needing NOTHING BUT! GLWS...

No worries, I am open to offers. I can't go too low though. Otherwise, it's likely to be parted. Just thought I'd give it one more chance to live!

The drivers seat looks like it's in nice condition. :)
If you should part it out. ;)

at least they repaired it with those beautiful Cordobarot panels :biggrin:

That cars not worth that much. You should be able to get him down lower.

You know what. If anyone wants this car for $2000 (cash), it's yours. I'm not budging off that price. If I don't get $2000, I'll be back offering up its parts. I'll sit on it for a bit until its time is up.

I'd love to have those seats if you do part it out, I need some sport seats!

I just drove it down the road. I got it up to 5000 rpm in 4th and shifted into 5th to cruse around 60-65mph. Drove surprisingly well. It seems that the vibration appears at the lower (torque) rpm range in the lower gears. (2 and 3rd). Another thing I just learned about the car: You sometimes need to use the synchros from first gear in order to get in to reverse.

Dips, post 8

No one can say you are not being truthful in advertising, that's for sure.

If you do plan to part it out, I'd love the wheels in tires.
