troyhyde Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hi Folks, just bought a T5R off of Craiglist. Don't need another car around here but couldn't resist since it was a yellow and was cheap. Anybody hunting for one in the Texas region? Car is pretty much all original though not in particularly good shape - cat back exhaust looks like a local muffler shop job. I'm going to take the wheels off for one of my cars here and replace with something generic, there's nothing else I need and don't want to put in all the labor to make the car nice. Front spoiler is badly damaged. Body fair, hood is okay but front fenders have some minor issues. Interior fair (dirty). Could be a good project car for someone who wants the "yellow" and doesn't mind labor and scrubbing. No aftermarket goodies on the car. Would like $1500 - you'll have to tow away. Deal has to go down yesterday if you know what I mean. My girlfriend will stab me in the eye if she finds out I've bought another car. Engine turns but condition unknown. Valvetrain has some milkshake in there so may need head gasket or other serious work. I can get pictures up tomorrow for any interested party. Not rusty being a southern car. Did I mention - needs work! Interested parties send me a PM and phone number, I can discuss. Not many of these were ever built or are still around....

troyhyde Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hey guys/gals. Pics coming, the battery died on the camera. Will have them up in 10 minutes or so. Upon second look, perhaps not as horrible as I first thought. This is a sedan. Check back in a few..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greekone Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Poor car, only 109k too. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyhyde Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Yea, I agree with the sentiment. I was hoping it just needed mechanical work which I don't have any trouble with. I can't do any body or paint work and it would get expensive to pay someone to do it right. It's going to take someone with some vision... Very cool though...

68123GT Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Sad to see a yellow that is so abused someone needs to "restore" this one - of course on the other hand, for $1500, it makes me believe I all but stole my yellow wagon :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFIVEM Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 WTF is up with the center tails, why would they body match that?? and after doing it, why not finish it ?? would totally get back into the 850 game if it was a wagon ... GL with sale, it looks like it can be cleaned up allot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
