This was posted on the Lemons board but this is kind of a rare beastie and may appeal to the audience here.

That is the first time I have seen a request to trade a car for a calf or baby chicks.

Damn... And to think I just finished parting-out a cow!!!

I didn't think the turbos came with a manual trans.

I lived in Oklahoma. This is not a surprise to me.

I had forgotten that these ever existed.

The crank pulley bolt is reverse thread and if you break it, a replacement can be sourced in ITALY. Ask me how I know...

BTDT...I feel your pain

wow, that's worth it, it wouldn't take more than $2000 to get that car pristine if you did it all yourself...

What are the specs of the turbo engine compared to the NA? Does it have potential?

NA with a big carb and exhaust can reach numbers the turbo spider made. biggest problem is early 80s fuel injection coupled with emissions controls. Now a MegaSquirted turbo spider would have serious potential for mid 100s...
