Geeto67 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Congrats on the score. These are really neat cars, a kid at my local auto parts store in Queens used to have one nobody could touch. Looked completely bone stock from the outside too. Is this one stick or auto? I think there were some that came automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Awesome find!! Always wanted one of those. If memory serves me correctly only 3,009 of them made it state side, I haven't seen one on the road in several years now, can't be many of them left that are running.

2 Sweet Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Lucky man! Congrats on the car, that thing is cool as fuck. I'm assuming it won't stay stock for long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsm_sleeper Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Good find. There were 2k offered in 1991 and 1k offered in 1992. All were manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Awesome find!! Always wanted one of those. If memory serves me correctly only 3,009 of them made it state side, I haven't seen one on the road in several years now, can't be many of them left that are running. Sounds right. I think 2000 in 91 and 1000 in 92 Congrats on the score. These are really neat cars, a kid at my local auto parts store in Queens used to have one nobody could touch. Looked completely bone stock from the outside too. Is this one stick or auto? I think there were some that came automatic. Yeah-stock block 500+whp would be neat. But, I don't need another project!! If you saw and Auto, it must have been swapped. I think they were all 5 speed Lucky man! Congrats on the car, that thing is cool as fuck. I'm assuming it won't stay stock for long I will not be the guy to mod this thing. If I keep it- it will stay shiny and very near stock to be honest.

ImUrOBGYN Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Buddy of mine who used to live here in CS, TX used to have a green one. We've since gone our separate ways but I always dug that car and wondered what happened to it. You sure don't see one everyday. (I wonder what happened to him sometimes, too just not as much. haha) Good luck and have fun w/your new car, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC K9 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I want to hate you so much right now, but I can't. Instead, i'm, just going to sit here and feel sorry for myself for never being able to find things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 So it's sold? You didn't buy it? No I got it-after we talked he still towed it to his other house, and a month later called and said take it. LOL to the above! Update is meh. Was where the car is now (a buddie's shop) so I had some time to work on it. Shockingly the battery took a charge! Would not crank. Tested starter, starter OK. Ended up being a bad clutch switch. SO now it cranks smooth. Oil looks GREAT. No start. No fuel. Gauge reads empty. Wen to add fuel, fuel comes out! Tear in hose. Called it a day! The good news, paint seems nice! This was 10 minutes or work. Paint has a very heavy flake that looks great in person. Anyone know what this paint code is? http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20161004_170019712_HDR.jpg http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20161004_170036105_HDR.jpg The "Old and New" Sleeper 4 doors http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20161004_170007079_HDR.jpg No start but hey, progress is progress.

unfunnyryan Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 That paint cleanup is redic. Could probably flip it for double what you paid with just a detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 That paint cleanup is redic. Could probably flip it for double what you paid with just a detail. O'l girl shints up much better than expected. The mirros and wing I dotn think are savable (detail wise) and would have to be painted to be as nice as the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Thanks. Latest update- hit the pump with 12v. She gon'. Fittings on the top of the take looked super rusty so they are soaking in PB. Will toss one of the many used fuel pumps laying around and see what happens.

coltboostin Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Acetone and ATF... Hmm, and hit it with 12V? Id still want to take it out of the tank for that- and considering I have working pumps on the shelf-why put the stocker back in? good to know tho!
