You could...

Buy it, deliver it to me and have me fix it for you.

Heh, where have I heard that one before? Though, buyer beware, Mr. Force One is currently jealous of my turbo setup, because he accidentally found one that was better than his. I suspect sabotage in my future.

My setup is still better suited for my uses. Your setup is more like "Fisher Price My First F2T" with a bunch of headroom.

Just add nitrous if you wanna make it hard to drive.

You know I already plan to do that. I have some corvettes to embarass.

Unfortunately all I have to dump is the '97 CR-V (family car, can't dump unless replaced with another family car), and my '75 280Z project (which I really want to get back on the road and don't want to dump). At this point in time it is wise for me to not have any more cars (apartment life, no garage, nowhere to store parts, etc.), and my wife shudders at the idea of insuring more than 2 cars. I think I have informed her enough times that now she knows that one day, when we have a house and a garage, there will be more than 2 cars in our fleet. But alas, for now, she is right, and 2 cars is our best bet. If I had a way to deliver this to Indy and somehow make a profit, maybe I could convince her. Hmmm...maybe I talk the guy down to $300, put a motor in it, drive it to Indy on a fun road trip and deliver to Swank and make a small profit, then fly back. Hmmm...

You'll drive it to indy, he will let you drive the red pig (or depending on time, the black one of mine that he has) and you won't give it up. Fair warning.

In reply to mndsm:

Haha...I might not give it up once I drive the stock one! I've never driven one before! I liked these cars years and years ago but knew nothing about them, now I know the potential they have so I really want one! You never see them around here, especially not modified. I see the occasional stock non-turbo one, and here and there a turbo one on Craigslist, but it's rare. I've never seen a 626 turbo or an older 626 in the flesh, and I go to every car show/gathering/event that I can in the area.

The ad is gone, finally.

This thing had been tempting me since I saw it. I'm just really glad my tow vehicles were down. I'd have rented a storage shed and stuck it in there until I could bring it to the house and not get murdered in my sleep.

Haha, yeah, I noticed it was gone too. I e-mailed the seller but didn't get a reply. It's probably for the better.
