Stumbled upon this on the Metro Detroit CL. Not sure if it has been posted here....

Looks good. Guy has a motor for $900 as well.

For reference, Belleville is about 30 minutes west of Detroit, just west of Metro Airport.

Wow, if my priorities were different, I would be all over this.
Looks to be a hardtop (not sunroof) car!
Rare to see a front spoiler intact.
No immediately visible rust on rear wheel wells is encouraging.
When put back together, this would be a great little summer commuter for less than $2k.

Based on my MR2 math, a $950 project MR2 is a $4,000 on the road MR2.

Yeah, I got lucky that mine was a hard top also. Didn't realize how rare they were. Still thinking if I ever find a supercharged reasonably priced, it might be the new DD...

Once you go supercharged, you'll never go back. Wonder if it has the coveted LED wing? Engine swap in this car is easy, so if the body is in good shape, that's a great deal.

I had an '88SC. True, it was a great engine! A fantastically fun commuter but I never saw much better than 22mpg. This low number had a lot to do with how much fun the engine really was. The NA version would get much better mpg.

'89 was the only year for the coveted LED wing. I have one in my in-laws pole barn if you really want one.
