I got around to driving the car today and it's a blast, no shuddering when it shifts and there's barely a speck of rust on the car. Interior is wonderful for the age. He has only owned it a bit over a year so he doesn't know if the valve lash adjustment has been done. Mileage is accurate, the car appears to have been garaged most of it's life. The bad thing is it turns out the seller is an old friend of mine so I feel bad about low balling him. Regardless, if I can convince the girlfriend I'll probably own it by next week.

Great find! I could only wish that mine was as near to good as that one is. Hopefully it holds together for you as long as you have it.

Well the girlfriend isn't too thrilled but I'm giving him a deposit tomorrow. I have rent to pay and a few bills to catch up on this month but he's cool with holding it for me. This will bring me to the halfway point for realistic dream cars.

Edit: Gave him the deposit an hour ago! Just need to get paid this week and it's all mine!

Totally, it's just a SAAB badged WRX with a few more interior refinements. I think it looks nicer than a standard WRX.

That's an easy $400 at my local yards, probably more. He's just asking scrap price and i think that is fair. I sell cars at scrap price sometimes and all i want is what im going to get out of it hauling it across the scales.

Its not a terrible price, but just understand that convertible continental is a world of some suffering. Think multiple hydraulic pumps, relays, and 50 year old switches.
The pain points are documented, but know that they are still major pain points.

Yeah, see if you can find a good local shop that has worked on them before considering a convertible. They are seriously complex, but goddamn they look incredible with the top down. I'm definitely looking at a mid-60's Continental as my next major project, but can't decide if I want to go the convertible route or not.

Seriously, when will the Lemons rules bump up from $500. Just about any car is worth that in scrap, how is someone supposed to get a car to race for under $500 these days? It's hard to find anything for under a grand, much less half that.

Safety equipment isn't in the 500, safety equipment also includes things like brakes.

Also it's 500 net, so any parts you "sell" can pay for modifications.

I gather it's within the spirit of the event to cheat, creatively anyway.

Wow, maybe I need to scrap some of my spare RX-7s. 7 of the drat things (5 first gens, 2 FCs) have followed me home over the years. Especially since only one runs and drives at the moment...
Need to go dig a few LSx's out from the wrecking yards and bastardize the ones in good shape, body wise. Hard to justify rebuilding the non-turbo rotary when the rebuild kit is $1000. I can find a 4.8 or 5.3 LSx with ECU for that, I bet, possibly with transmission, and at least 3 times the HP.

Ft/Fs Rare 1992 Galant VR4 Turbo AWD (Huntertown)
Date: 2012-04-15, 9:35PM EDT

Hello, Up for sale(possible trade, trade/cash) is a very Rare vehicle! 1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR4, There were only 3000 of these made and they were only made for 2 years! Only 1000 of them made in 1992, this one is #71/1000(says the badge on the dash)This car is All Wheel Drive and All Wheel Steer and It's powered by the tried and true 6 bolt 4g63 mated to a 5 speed trans. This car has a handful of upgrades, including the Evo3 16g turbo, front mount intercooler with hard piping, drilled/slotted rotors, stainless braided brake hoses, Eprom Ecu(fully tuneable with the right program!), full 3inch exhaust, and more.. This is a project car, we'll get to that now.
The car developed a lower end rod knock, it was parked and went under the knife, but didn't go much further than that. The head is still good and the bottom end could be rebuilt or a good one could be purchased to replace it. It's also in need of some body repair, but it's 90% panel replacement and I have all the parts needed(Of course these will be included in the sale). These panels are all in very good shape, especially for the year. I've got more pictures, so please don't be afraid to ask.
The interior is crazy clean, especially for the year, it has a few gauges and a really nice carbon fiber double pod mounted to the left of the steering wheel(looks very nice and clean). Cash is Boss with me, but if you have a nice 98-02 Firebird roller chassis, I'd be interested. All trades will be considered. I'm asking 1800$ O.b.O for everything, don't be afraid to make an offer, but Please don't send me anything crazy low or negative replies, this car is very Rare and if you aren't familiar with them, please do some research before responding. This car is perfect for a mechanic and especially if you specialize in DSMs. You can reply through here with the title 92 VR4 only, or my number is Two 6 Zero 7 Zero 4 Three 9 Zero 6, text is preferred, but calls are ok just leave a message if I miss it. Name is Bill and you should want this car, Thanks for looking
