Default Interesting car. '83 Euro or not

Vin says US but side markers and rear fog say Euro. Horn is an "S" pad. No reserve starting at $200. The BBS LM wheels are probably worth about $1500 themselves.

I know. But if you can get the car for a few hundred, tell the guy to just send the wheels and he can relist. Still curious what is going on with the Euro panels and US VIN.

the euro body panels may have come from a donor car . If it was a horse , it would have to be shot !

Yea, I think only the chin spoiler and wheels are even close to being any good. The rest of that car (while save-able) is really hurting and will cost $15k to make it look nice again...who knows how much to also make it run right...

unfortunately, given its location, a lot of mechanicals are likely to be too rusty or corroded to effectively remove, or if you can remove them, too bad of condition to re-use....

Looks like a euro to me. Got the correct rear bumper cover for it.

Understatement of the year!

Great track car candidate.

If someone from the List gets this car and is parting it out let me know there are a few items I could use.

I actually purchased the car for the later model G28/11 5 spd and headers in it. My current car has a early G28/05 5 spd that I will be selling as well as anything else needed. I will have 1 complete car to part. My only concern is that the car needs to remain a roller so I can get it out of my garage and on a trailer when I am finished parting and robbing parts. Not sure what all you will need. PM me with details. My 5 spd works well except you need to be stopped in order to downshift to first. All upshifting works as well as all other downshifting. It is also NOT LSD.
