My friend is selling his barn find SC mr2. I will get more information from him and update but here is what I know. Doesn't currently run. It needs a fuel pump. Has new radiator and some other stuff. Less rusty than most mk1s from the Midwest. It is a test top auto car. Price is well inside challenge budget. TBD.

It's probably a good thing that you're so far away, I'd be far too tempted given I badly want one of these...

Reaaaaally glad you're so far away and I don't have a towing rig- I'd be spending $1k I don't really have to spend.

In reply to singleslammer:

As much as I really want it, I also REALLY can't begin to afford it nor would I have a good place to put/work on it until my house sells.

In reply to DukeOfUndersteer:

Rough estimate of Gas is almost $300 round trip. Assuming 15 mpgs. I would love a ride to the challenge then!

Is it an auto trans car? If it's a manual trans I'm interested, but not an auto.

I think it is an auto car that comes with a manual transmission to swap in? If I deciphered that right naturally

That is correct. It comes with a couple services transmission but is currently an auto.

In 1988, the MR2 SC Auto was the fastest car sold in 0-30 times. Of course this has a lot to due with the fact that the 3 speed does not shift out of 1st till 30 mph.

It's like all these mr2s lately are taunting me.
