The Pao is crazy overpriced, but I bet you could swap a manual in there.

K10 Micras are pretty popular in Yurop, so there's probably some upgrade parts as well.

I think I remember seeing pics of that, though I can understand why he was unsuccessful. Kinda odd to figure an OHV Ford or Chev V8 can fit into a Miata, but one of their own in-house engines can't. Christ, how big is that 4 anyway?

I am not nearly knowledgable enough about these cars to know if this is Craigslist Gold or not, but it caught my eye because 90% of the early GTIs I see are heavily modified/ruined and this seemed to be in fairly good shape (high mileage tho). Also I have a round headlights fetish.

The Gen 2 GTIs were a bit white washed, depending on the year they just had a mildly hotted up engine compared to your standard Mk2 Golf. The real hot ones were the 16V GTIs. That's pretty overpriced in my opinion unless the interior and body are absolute mint and rust free (questionable since the exhaust has holes on it).

According to Snopes they shed their hide a few times a year. Also, Newbury Park is only a twenty-five minute drive from here. I could conceivably pay a visit to the tricycle.

Purple leather.

It's probably a good thing I'm nowhere near UT, because I think I could deal with purple leather for a V8 6-speed 5-series. How much/how difficult is a timing chain/guides on that, anyway? For future reference, you understand.

http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/5616315905.html



quote:

UNDER 32K ORIGINAL MILES! Classic Ford E-Series van in dark blue. Beautiful light blue interior is near showroom condition. The cargo area has been professionally converted to an office work space and wired for 12V DC and 110V AC usage. This is a former DEA surveillance van operated in the greater Washington state area. This vehicle has been warehoused most of its life when not in mission use. Turn-Key ready except for the air-conditioning (not blowing cold air) and the factory radio (lights up but no sound). 351W EFI motor with C6 transmission. I replaced the battery, the serpentine belt, the muffler, the air filters and an oil change. Body, tires, brakes, suspension, power train all in great shape. Rear load-leveler air bags were installed. Also comes with an on board air compressor tucked inside a wheel-well bench seat/storage compartment. Has three RV style deep cycle batteries for power reserve source, a propane heater system (under vehicle tank), a dry ice/block ice cooling system, and an interior air exhaust system to remove carbon dioxide -- all of which are designed to operate without the vehicle engine running i.e. in "stealth mode". The cargo area floors, doors, and ceiling have been sound-proofed (insulated). Van is wired for pen and box cameras on all sides to monitor people approaching the van. Van is Red Light enabled, including rear window red filters and black out panels. Also has a steel wall "barrier" with sliding door into the driver's compartment. Van comes with two sets of keys/remotes and one is used for remote start of the engine. Physical security is achieved through an added interior door bracing/lock system. The only way a common thief will get in this van is by crawling through a broken window. ALL OPTICS AND RADIOS AND THE POWER INVERTER HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY THE DEA/GSA FLEET SERVICES. All basic wiring, gauges, panel switches, and cabling and connectors remain. Also has a TrippLite computer power converter/back up battery system for on board computers and monitors. Replace the inverter and bring your lap-top and printer and you have a secure rolling office; a mobile computer repair/training van; a UAV launch operations/tracking vehicle; or anything else you can imagine. Need to get away and write a book?

This is a rare and highly desirable find if only because of its very low mileage and condition. I bought this vehicle for this very reason in December 2015 from a local dealer here in Salem and because my 1980 van just went into the shop for extensive work (engine and tranny out, etc.). That van is gone and now this beauty must go too. Wife can't ride comfortably so my van days are over. Hey, its all good!

Viewing of this van is by APPOINTMENT ONLY. If you don't have the budget for such a vehicle then, PLEASE, don't waste my time or yours. I have chosen not to provide exterior pics of this vehicle should the next owner upgrade it and use it for surveillance operations. Exterior pics will be provided to your email address, upon request. If this posting is up, then the van is still for sale.

Thanks for checking out my van. Jim

CASH ONLY -- NO CHECKS. "AS IS" SALE. Oregon plates. Tags good thru 12/17

I bet it became too conspicuous to keep using just by being so drat clean for what it is.
