I had this car listed a few weeks ago as non running and had to end the listing early due to incorrect info. I will give it to you as straight as possible so read carefully. The mileage is correct @ 37,888 box A, clean Arizona, one owner car. It was garaged for 23 years in mint condition, however when I bought the car it had been sitting for the past 3 years on the side of someone's house and it had a tarp cover w/ boxes covering the trunk lid. After looking @ the car I found that the number 6 cylinder connecting rod had detached from crankshaft and punched two holes in the rear of the oil pan.I pulled the pan and the rear head, replaced the number 6 piston and connecting rod w/ a same year RT twin turbo pistonw/ zero miles and found that the crankshaft for the RT must use a different sized bearing, for it is 0.1105 smaller and this is where I decided to put it back together. Someone else can finish this simple build and have themselves a nice very low mileage car. I replaced rear head gasket and checked valve clearance and seats. It got a new radiator as well as fuel pump, timing belt and cam oil seals. The car does start and run, but with the number 6 cylinder connecting rod bearing being oversized I would replace the bearing before attempting any driving because it will inevitably develop a knock.This car is in great overall condition with an exceptionalsuspension ( very solid ). The doors open and close like new. The clutch and gear box operatelike new and the steering is tight, but i have left the power steering belt off so now it is just stiff. The interior is really nice condition with the exceptionof one small passenger side seat hole about half the size of a dime. The driver side window doesn'twork, but that is the only non working issue with it.As for the exteriorof the car, the paint tone on the plastic vs the sheet metal seems to be slightly off. Driver side front fender has a small dent as well as the driver door having two door dings. Driver rear quarter has a deep scratchrunning about 10" in and is deep enoughto expose the primer. The hood has several light scratchesthat appear to be key marks and the top of the car has several spots of damaged paint due to bird poop, but could be repaired very easily. The windshieldis cracked and the factory tint is beginning to bubble in spots.Overallthis car looks really nice, and a good shop could have this car looking showroom for under 800 bucks. The mechanical side of it is a little bit of workbut achievableto the averageguy, and when it's done will be like buying a new car that no one else can own. I have an RT TT that i have built over the years from the ground up following a guy in Colorado Springs CO. proven build so i do know my way around these cars. This is close to the same car without all the problems of the twin turbo version. This is a 100% compete car, with the exception of the passenger front wheel lug cover. This car is being sold as-is.
