Sounds like a candidate for a manual swap, if you can get the parts together.

[otto325e]

Pretty much what I was thinking......but dat sterlingsilber tho

[mohamed...]

you got my hopes up. i thought it was ontario california.

Cop that shit cheap and put a manual trans in there. You know he is only asking $900, so yo could potentially have a very clean 5 speed ix for less than two grand.

[otto325e]

From what I have read up on, I would need the transmission, T-case, shifter assembly, clutch and flywheel, complete pedal box with clutch master and lines, clutch slave and lines??? Oh and a mechanic since I would not b able to do this is my garage...sighh

How about the diffs, are they taller on the autos?

[nando]

you can re-use the auto diffs. no reason to change them. 4.10 vs 3.91

that car easily looks worth $900 to me!

[whodwho]

Local??

You need to consider the shipping and look into what it will take to bring it into the states.

Yeah i've been trying to get a hold of this guy for ages and i think it's either fake or the guy's forgotten about it. It seems to good to be true, especially considering it's been posted since mid-january and is still up (once renewed in feb)....
Shame haha i've emailed him quite a few times since without any response

Dat sterlingsilber tho, amiright!?

I know exactly where that house is, I'm pretty sure...it might take ten minutes to find but I'm pretty sure he's on main street in Dez

I've seen this car for sale for 3+ years now.....the price has dropped drastically since, and he keeps updating the ad :S

Yeah totally it's one of the nicest colours imo!

Shiiiieeet actually? Keep us posted if you find the house/owner!





....then let me buy it :D

[otto325e]

He got back to me..car is for sale, the first thing he says if I want to buy it, don't ask him if it will make it to Toronto or any other part of Ontario or Quebec, and that he's had tons of emails

If you're between TO and OTT, why don't you stop in and have a look on your way through? dez is just off the 401


I'm only 10 minutes from him...gonna maybe have a look at it. I just don't have anywhere to store or work on it though
