This car does have the factory tank removed and currently has a fuel cell in it. I will be taking that before it leaves. I can include a good stock 72 tank, but would advise in using a fuel cell again. 400 bucks come get it.

really not that bad looking of a car...maybe it just has to grow on you?

lol wish i had the knowledge to rebuild all that, it'd be a fun winter project

and from what i looked up the car should weigh ~1933lbs

How about some videos of this car. This is with a basicly stock 2.3T swap with the boost turned up.

I know someone wants it. 400 is about as low as i can go, i can part it out and get more for it, but i dont want this car to go to waste.

What's required to bolt a T-5 back into it? (how much did you take out with the drivetrain)?

to reinstall a turbo 2.3/ 5 speed combo you just need to weld in some 2.3 pinto mounts and you just move the mounting points with the tranny crossmember and its a bolt in ordeal. You would also need the 5 speed pedal assembly but all of the above parts are rather easy to come by. I have takin out the 2.3/5 speed combo with harness and all that. Its a project for sure. But 400 bucks and its a soild roller.
