Euro S50b30 swapped '86 $10K (FL)

[Lof8]

Not my car. I'm just trying to help a local guy to me get his car sold. I have never seen it in person, but appears to be a solid deal. Best pics on page 2.

Went up 2k from when it went on market 2 years ago? Has potential but damn it's not my cup o tea in present guise.

Seller obviously doesn't want to sell as he has no engine shots nor build thread about it just buy me and few poor photo's.

figured I would sign up on here so I could reply (and thanks for the post btw)

M-technik- you must be thinking of a different car... I originally put the car up for sale around $14k. I didn't do the original build so I don't have a build thread for it. From what I was told, it was built by a reputable shop in Georgia (sorry, don't know who) and the owner passed away. This was one of his personal builds which was sold off after his death.

just called into the shop to have someone try and snap pics for me today

That is right off the site. Now that you have joined here, I will abide by forum rules not to bash another R3V members post.

I really think you should spend a an hour snap some photos and host them. S50B30 is a nice engine. Last time the valves were adjusted?

[LDadrenaline]

valves were adjusted by the previous owner so it has been a few years. However, the car has only had about 4-5k miles put on it since then.
