FyrhzrdGT Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) I bought a 1991 Jetta Diesel and got this car as part of the deal. I don't want it and honestly its too nice to just scrap, so I figured I'd try to sell it first. Here's what I know, previous owner bought it as a parts car, it had an immaculate interior. He removed the interior. I was told it didn't have a motor, but had a trans. When I picked the car I up I found that it has the motor, but no trans. The trans is what supports the motor, so the motor is kind of just hanging there. It is a single cam, which I believe makes it a 1.8 8v, tell me I'm wrong, I probably am. Here is what I'm thinking, $150 for the 1986 car the way it sits. http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/CincinnatiFiero/300D/IMG_3009.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/CincinnatiFiero/300D/IMG_3013.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/CincinnatiFiero/300D/IMG_3014.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/CincinnatiFiero/300D/IMG_3015.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/CincinnatiFiero/300D/IMG_3016.jpg What I've got for the car that will be included. Factory headlights, the passenger taillight if you need it. I am supposed to go pick up the interior he pulled out of this car, so I should get the gauge cluster and seats. I've got bumpers if you need them. I got these in the deal, neuspeed springs on tokico blues for rears then some green spring on unmarked black struts. I'd sell them if you wanted them. http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/CincinnatiFiero/300D/IMG_3010.jpg Kind of bouncing ideas around, sorry if this is hard to read. I'd rather sell it to someone who will make something out of it. ON THE OTHER hand, scrap is really high, so don't be so kind as to take it off my hands for $50. The car and two motors are worth $150 in scrap. It was not obviously rusty and I have a key and the title. This could be a good GRM car or probably 24 hours of LeMons or similar car. THE CAR IS IN CINCINNATI OHIO. NEEDS TO BE TOWED. Edited March 31, 2010 by FyrhzrdGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Interested in the seals, motor and trans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyrhzrdGT Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Engine and trans won't be out of the '90 until I bring it up here. But there is an engine in the '86. I am going to try to sell the '86 whole first. Sure you don't want the whole car? $150obo for the '86 and everything that is in it. Pulling the motor and pulling the seals is enough work to want like $100 for all that stuff. It'd be easier if you bought the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICEMAN1647545504 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 How much you want for the springs and stuff. Are they lowering springs and will they fit on a 97 Jetta??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyrhzrdGT Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) Starter on the 1990 gas doesn't work but it push started really easily and it ran and drove. Smoked when you gave it gas and I think the valve cover is leaking onto the exhaust manifold. But the trans engaged all the gears and and the engine makes some power. Obviously a rebuilder but the 1990 motor isn't totally smoked. I can't test the 1986 motor since there is no trans. $150 for the 1986 chassis with motor Edited March 31, 2010 by FyrhzrdGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
