$1500 5 speed pt loser turbo with good wheels

Aren't these essentially SRT-4s with weird bodies and the very worst things ever to work on?  Even if true this one seems like a heckuva deal.

Weird body, not that bad to work on arguably easier to do some things than a neon, PT Cruiser GT is the same engine, turbo, and injectors as a 2004+ SRT4 smaller intercooler and heat soak prone aluminum intake results in 215hp. 06 + GT Cruiser has a plastic intake and 230hp. Non intercooled PT Cruiser Turbo is 180hp same engine and turbo as an SRT4 no intercooler, small injectors and a tune to match. 

I paid $450 for an 03 GT auto with a cracked exhaust manifold and broken radio a few weeks ago. Took it out for some burnouts last night it's entertaining. 

I really want this

Have not been able to convince my wife yet...

The 180Hp PT is the exact same motor, intercooler and all. Only the tune is different. A MP Stage 1 kit will net the same horsepower as it will in a PT/GT. 

It even has wood on the side!

Civic wagon with a flash interior.

Must be flashback interior cause when I click the link it takes me to the picture of the town and country wagon. 

Decent looking Vega  

The most amount of B-body that money can buy. Already lowered and casket included.

I wonder how much budget recoup there is in the casket?

In reply to maschinenbau :

These are ~$1,000, so half of new?  $500.

That would definitely be one of the most unique budget re-coup items...probably score you a few Concours points just because of the story.

Oh wait, nevermind. That hearse has the L99 V8, which is only 4.3L. No LT1 goodness. Pass...

In reply to maschinenbau :

The L99 struck me as odd, until I realized it started life as a sedan. 

I have a Volvo 240 DL 5 speed I have been thinking about selling it would budget challenge friendly. The reason why I am selling it because I found a B5 Passat wagon.

Do tell me more. Runs and drive I assume? Clear title?

In reply to Sine_Qua_Non :

Ran when parked, gas gage doesn't work properly and need a new right rear brake caliper. Clean title I used this car to haul around my RC cars and equipment to the track last summer....its also a cool car to just enjoy the road with too

In reply to Volksrodden :

...I need to put some gas in it. Last time I went to move it, it fired ran for a little and sputtered down and quit, that was a week ago 

In reply to Volksrodden :

$$ & Location?

In reply to Indy-Barely Functional-Guy :

$750 obo, Franklin Ohio right off from 75

A tick over $2018....sell something off it.
