I have a 1987 Bertone X1/9 that is looking for a good home. It ran three years ago but has been sitting in the driveway ever since. I'd like to see it go to someone who has a bigger need for it than the junk yard. Would anyone be interested in it?
Call Matt B at Midwest-Bayless. Theyre based out of Columbus OH. As long as your not unreasonable with what you need from the car, Im sure he would entertain saving another X1/9. GL
It looks nice. I paid more for mine and it has a lot of hidden rust that I'm now finding. Seems you got a heck of a deal on that. That quarter panel should be a fairly simple repair with the right equipment.
We shall see. I believe there is a transmission issue with second gear. It has been sitting outside for an extended period which is never good. Likely some standing water issues with likely rust in unfortunate places. Looks like a fair amount of acid damage in the front trunk. Seems like a lot of water has gotten into the rear trunk. Here's hoping there are not too many surprises.
Here are some other pics from the seller showing some of the other areas. Mmmm mold, my favorite...
Chris, you have done a good job of diversifying over the last few years I must say. Thumbs up
It looks extremely original and untouched. Uncut door cards and all 4 shock tower rubber cover things in place! Original paint so no overspray to deal with. A/C. It even has an annoying as heck late 80s early 90s alarm system! Lol.
Looks good man. Hopefully you won't find any really bad hidden rust.
What's the plan? Get it running straight away or start tearing into it first? Looking forward to seeing how it goes.
