73 RS look 3.0 hot rod, NEW PRICE!

Looking to get a new project. If I could sell mine for what I need to get into this I will do it. So the price is high - especially for this crowd :-))

73t non sunroof, S options, aluminum brakes
no rust
The PO had a very exhaustive repaint in the original Gulf blue 7 or 8 years ago. Body is very nice.
RS rear flares
22/30 T bars
Turbo tie rods
Solid engine mounts
sport tranny mounts
elephant polybronze front a-arms and spring plates
Spherical bearings - strut tops and banana pivots.
adjustable Konis
adjustable sways ( not the real fancy ones)
adjustable spring plates
autopower roll bar
front strut brace
race type seats - very light and suprisingly very comfy
rear seat delete
79 euro SC motor, high miles very very strong!!! have compression, leakdown, and dyno numbers
SSIs
Aluminum Clutch
Backdated heat
2 in 2 out muff and a spare 2 in 1 out (for Sundays :-))
15x7,8 fuchs and same in BBS, well used track tires on 1 set.
Bushings in the shift linkage and pedals
Battery relocated to the smugglers box
etc. etc.

Really fast with 2300 lbs and 7:31 R&P




The bad

I replaced a rusty area behind the rear seats and its a bit of an amatuer job (the welding and such). The whole area was POR15 and there is no rust remaining. Just could be better.

3rd gear must be approached very slowly or double clutched. It really needs a synchro.

Paint is not concours any more - very nice, but a driver.

at some point in the cars life the battery blew out and there is some damage to a front battery box. The front pan suspension was just replaced.

Expensive at $16.5K!! ( you could probably build this car for $18K if you did alot of the work yourself :-))

Hey if that guy can turn down $50K for his RSR replica I can dream right!!!

I may consider other interesting sports car trades (especially 964s) if I cant make this deal work.
