Default 85 EURO - PROJECT/PARTS CAR

Been a LOOOONG time since I've come around. Sure wish I was headed to SITM.

Many of you remember me from years past - I have the blue '85 EURO with the "SLOW TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT ->" Windshield banner.

About 4 years ago, my clearcoat decided to go south all at once. At the time, I wasn't in a financial position to repaint - so she's been parked in the back yard. I hate to sell this car, but iI just don't have the time or inclination to bring her back to glory!

The car was running (STRONG!!) when she was parked. I think a gas drain, fluid change, injector cleaning and Wally's yearly electrical maintenance would have her running!

This was a very strong running car, with many options. She won the SCCA Solo2 for her class (BSP)! Body is straight, and the interior is very good (Blue...leather dash).


Here are some details:

85 EURO (310HP), Auto. Prussian Blue with Blue interior.

Installed options:

Original Ott Y-Pipe and steroid drop links
Upgraded GT BIG BLACK brakes all around! (4-piston Brembos!)
Koni/Wibach Coilovers
Turbo Twist wheels
Smog Delete, viscous fan delete
Push/Pull Elec fans

Comes with MANY spares, including: Factory Manuals, Orig wheels, extra set of S4 wheels, alt, ps pump

Title has the ZZZ VIN!!

$2928 OBO.

Email me with any questions! (cicmarkATaolDOTcom) I can take pics of anything in particular, and email to you.

Yep. But in the shade, so the interior wasn't adversely affected.
Don't think you can find a good EURO motor for what I'm asking for the car!

Hey Randy - Yep...it's been quite a while. When the clearcoat went, I drove my 951 for a while...got rear-ended on my motorcycle a couple years back, and kinda "lost the edge" while re-habbing a badly mangled shoulder (Friggin' kid texting and driving!). Kids are now grown and gone...got remarried...and we just sold the house and are downsizing (2800 sq ft to 1500!). My main 'motorhead' addiction is now 38' long and about 10 tons (RV!).

I miss the shark folks...hope someone will enjoy this car like I did. That's why I'm asking a pretty reasonable (I think) price.

I'm pretty sure we bought your spare engine for not a lot less than you want for this car...it's a good deal for an 85' Euro for sure.

That's correct!

Heck - the brake upgrade is worth almost $2k!

Man... Get back in your hole!

I've got DRs 85 Euro now. Could have used this 6 months ago. If you have a spare intake, I'd buy that, but as is, I don't have the space for another entire car.
