For Sale: 1986 MR2 Sport

Lil Blue Bastard · 11-07-2009, 05:41 PM

I hate to be doing this, but I pretty much don't have a choice.

As some of you may have seen in one of my posts, I was planning on prepping this car for serious track duty. Didn't get much farther than removing just about everything that could be removed with hand tools, short of the rolling stock and suspension. I no longer have use of a garage, and even if I did, my new fiancee and I are saving for a house, so no money to work on the car with. Right now it's parked in the side yard of my friend's place until I can figure something out, which at this point means selling it.

Ok so here goes:

It is an '86 model (May 1986 production) with factory Sport option, power windows (which work, along with an extra set of wiring and motors), 5 speed manual with original engine. The engine and car both have around 71k miles on it, carfax certified as such. Every part that I have taken off I have retained, except for the rear bumper (damaged during removal) and the rear visor (cracked in the sun, and broke in half during careful removal).

The car ran and drove just fine before I started taking it apart in early Sept. It has a newer fuel pump, spark plugs, and plug wires. I replaced all suspension bushings with Prothane. Brake pedal and booster have been disconnected, but e-brake still works.

The car is rust-free except for a small amount of surface rust in a dent on the passenger side fender, and where the roof meets the windshield. All wheel arches are 100% rust-free.

Paint is oxidized pretty badly on the hood, roof, and trunk, but the sides of the car are pretty good. The body and frame are straight, with remarkably few dings considering it's damn near 24 years old.

As it sits right now, it is a rolling parts bin, which can either be continued to be an excellent race car platform, or can be an excellent parts car, with all low-mileage parts. Not looking to part out the car at this time, looking to sell all at once.

Most recent pictures can be seen here: Operation "Bare Chassis" has begun!. I can also get some more up-to-date shots for the more interested parties.

EDIT: Forgot to mention: Free and clear AZ title.

Please PM me if interested.

Thanks!

Graham
