Hi there. I am the proud owner of what can best be described as a barn find. Probably the ugliest 97 b/w on the planet but I just love it. Needs a tranny but everything else seems to work as it should. The story goes it was Archer Racings guiney pig back in the day. The driver loses it at BIR and totalls it. The guy I bought it from puts it back together on a budget and lives happilly ever after for several years. Tranny goes out on it and puts it up for a quick sale. It doesnt sell quickly and the price just keeps dropping.
Heres me. The car finnally reaches what I feel is the guys bottom dollar and I pull the trigger. Mind you I know nothing of these cars and two months ago the thought of buying one never entered my mind. However, the blue and white colors struck me as something special. I take out a home equity loan with a super low rate to buy the car and enough money to put a tranny into it. The guy loads it up on a trailer and delivers it.
If things go as planned, I should be on the road with this rig under 20 grand. Have no intention of repairing the body works any further as the car is too far gone for that to make economic sense. Going to focus on the drivetrain and just make a reliable fast driver out of it. Drive it anywhere, anytime. Despite the rough bodywork, I think it looks killer just the way it is and have not been able to stop thinking about it since it landed in my garage. 335's, Borla exhaust and supposedly a few other bits that I have yet to identify.
