True Classic
Time has come to let this project go. I've had it about 7 years and just never have really delved into it. I was told this car's build was documented in Grassroot Motorsports but I have not seen that. When I bought it from the builder it was barely running on way old gas and had a bad transmission. I did source a new, better year MR2 trans for it, but never installed. I drained the gas, pulled the plugs and sprayed some storage lube/coat into the engine and put it into dry storage, and here we are now.
What I want to do is have a sealed bid type of auction. I hope this is allowed as I'm not posting a sales price. I will accept offers till end of Weds next week. High offer gets it.
In short here's what we have, I will gladly go into details privately via phone or emails.
1978 X, solid body, truly no real rot. Some surface rust where the paint has failed or where there was previous dent repair on the driver's door. Hail damage on all top body surfaces.
MR2 gen. 1 engine and trans. Engine cranks with even sounding compression as of a week ago.
Most lights worked but headlights would not pop up. Heater fan ran.
Entire interior was custom redone in Italian leather, it is nice. I mean pretty much all of it, door cards, dash, console, etc. Seats are MR2 I think, redone (?) in the same leather. WOW!
Supposedly an award wining stereo which I could not get to function, but see the guts in the frunk. Custom bass box ducted into the front cabin. Other speakers nicely integrated in the cabin.
Big project with super potential. I do have the title.
