I've owned this car for 10 years, and it has been very reliable. The ride is really rough for the roads around here, but the handling makes up for it.

Paint is original. A lot of dings and dents throughout, but aside from a small rust spot on the rear hatch (see photo), it is a rust free car. One body issue is that the right rear was dented slightly (a couple of mm?) which results in water getting into the wheel well behind the rear tire. I sponge it out every time I was the car and don't drive it in the rain, but it should be attended to if you are not into doing that.

Dash is cracked, but I have a good one that I will be selling (parts list coming).

The engine does not put out as much power as I would expect it to. I would estimate that it is only making about 105 HP. It could be simple (or not), but I've never put the time into tracking it down. I bought the car like this and have not had it get better or worse.

Side window rubber and wipers are weathered.

Asking $3300. Must sell by the end of August.








This is where the car was dented, causing a water leak through the taillight to body gasket.











The only rust spot that I can find on the car:



Paint is weathered and checked:

Did you do the 16v swap? Any info on that? Interested.

Not on this car. I purchased with the swap. I've done one, and this swap is decent (I would rate it 8.5/10; my swap was a 10/10 of course) The engine is a 9A 16V with California emissions, It does not have A/C or power steering. It starts well, and runs well, but I would expect it to run well under 7 seconds to 60 mph. I clock something in the mid 8 second range.

Tool nice of a car not to bump! Needs a good home!

[scirocgvnr]

I built this car and he is selling it way too cheap!

Wow! 10 years of hoarding parts for it too

Motronic... hand fabbed air box.. bilstein Sports..... factory roof

I'm more MKII fan, this is a nice MKI that definitely catches my eye. Need more cash myself, hope it finds a good home.

[tomski]

I know I'm selling it way too cheap. If I had three months to sell it rather than three weeks, I'd be asking for more.

[rabfan]

Any chance you're driving through Alberta on your way to Alaska?

[kerensky]

Smokin' deal - if only I had half the money I'd be on this like white on rice. You're only a week out, man. What happens if no one steps up? You have anyone semi-local you can leave it with and take your time selling?

[tomski]

The car and all the sheet metal in my post for parts (6 doors, 3 hatches, 2 hoods, one of the windshields) are now all in Detroit residing in the garage of a relative. 900 miles closer to civilization and much easier to shipping logistics.

[kerensky]

That's good news, I was afraid that you were going to have to do something rash.

[tlaaartz]

You probably in Alaska by now but I would like to talk on the phone regarding this car and parts.
