Parts car in Northern Michigan

[mvboeke]

This Northern Michigan car popped up on Craigslist. Hard to tell what’s worth saving on this car, but for $650 it might be worthwhile for someone local to check it out. https://nmi.craigslist.org/cto/d/fiat-x19/6459375197.html

What are those tires on the RHS of the car? I've never seen them before. Not sure how I feel about them but it's a shame there are only 2...

Tires or wheels? The wheels look like freshly painted steel wheels in this style.

This originally caught my eye because of the cromodoro wheels - I thought they might be worth $650 on their own, but then I realized it was a mismatched set.

I sure could use the roof roof off that

79< steelies and CD91's. Probably the number 1 and number 2 most common X1/9 wheels out there. The steering wheel, however; did look aftermarket and might be of interest.

Is that Jeff VanDykes other old car? There were some folks that bought a car he bought as spare parts.

Nice fresh too bright silver paint on those wheels

CD-91's worth $650? I'll sell you mine for only $500.

There are 3 of them; 2 on the RHS + 1 on the LHS rear, with a lone CD-91 on the LHS front.

Any one know what color code that one might be , seems a little deeper darker blue than most others .

The tires on the RHS is the same as the tires on the LHS.

I don’t have a car to put those on right now. But given that Bayless wants $750 for a refurbished set of CD-91s, what do you think is a fair price?

Get a set for free-$100 and DIY refurb for another free-$100 and alot of time. Or gotta pay to play @ $750. On the other hand; My Spectra's are nearly mint condition, and I'm only asking $400

I'm not in the market for wheels - sorry if that sounded like I was haggling for a price. I'm still just learning about these cars and starting to plan a project and get a handle on costs for what I would like to end up with. I'm new to the X1/9 and classic cars in general, and used to just being able to order parts. So when you say "just get a set for free - $100" I'm genuinely puzzled about how you would do that. Junk yard? This forum? Certainly not on Ebay or any online vendors.

 

[Eastep]

Junk yards or possibly forum members who have too many spares. I at one point had two or three full sets of 91s that I couldn't give away. I ended up scrapping them , along with a pair of later big bumpers. Wasn't a bad aluminum scrap day, that day.
