    91 Spirit R/T W/ 8V 2.5L - 523 in 14569 WNY

    Im selling this for a friend. My buddy bought it off of gary donovan a few years ago and just drove it around. ive helped him with some little things over the years that he had it.

    its a 91 R/T with a 2.5L that runs good and a 523 trans with what I believe to be a actual R/T clutch. the pedal is a little stiffer than a regular clutch provides. trans shifts good and smooth.

    the car has some engine bay wiring harness issues. its a R/T Harness converted to run an 8v. i believe the problems are due to loose connections in the 60 way. those are easily remedied. i cleaned as many connectors as i could under the hood. those issues make the car run on 3 cyls as of now. that may be remedied if i can get enough time before sale.

    turbo is a mitsu and works but the wastegate rod keeps popping off the pin cause the cotter pin is missing.

    good thing though, the car comes with an extra 91 spirit 8V harness though, a R/T SBEC and a socketed 8V SBEC with the high torque 2.5L cal burned to the chip.

    body is super solid. a little rust at the inside bottom of a door or two and maybe the trunk lid as well. its a 91 white R/T so it needs paint. Gary fogged it with a spraycan before sale but it needs it again and there is a little rust on the roof. not bad at all. floor is rock solid.

    interior is in decent shape. rear pass window needs a little work. take apart and regrease and check wiring. pass front window is a little sticky at times but works pretty well. i took it apart and regreased everything a little ways back.

    suspension is stock and probably original. prev to Gary owning the car, someone clamped the stock springs one coil. car comes with suspension techniques springs.

    its a really solid car but needs a little tinkering and some TLC to make it really nice.

    Ill have some pics Friday.

    1500$ obo.

    Brian

    I see what you meant about less roof rust! That one would be a whole lot easier to get looking nice than my ES was. Seriously, somebody should buy this car, repaint it, and document the repaint. It's fun (no, that's not sarcasm), not very expensive, and you get to take lots of nifty before and after pics. Plus you're getting the benefits of an R/T (brakes, suspension, etc) without having to worry about expensive 16v parts.

    If I wasn't broke and over my limit on cars, I'd be all over that.

    Brian, I may be intrested in it if you could possibly get it running correctly. If you got it running correctly will this car be able to be driven back to my house? Also, is there any rust underneath it? Pics of that? Id appreciate man lmk.

    Also, whats with the picture of the snowflake rim and no snowflakes on the car?

    yeah i should be able to get it running to get it to your house. it runs right now but not the greatest. i probably just need to go over the 60 way a little.

    as you can see the snowflakes are on that k car in the background. they will be back on the car though for you.

    rust underneath? i dont think there is any. I can take a look and a pic though. ill see if i can swing over there tomorrow and get a pic.
