    1985 Daytona Turbo - $5000 OBO

    Date: 30th May 2014
    Username: DetroitTurbo
    Full Name: Frank Daugherty
    City, State, Zip: Detroit, Mi 48239
    Contact: PM for phone #
    Selling or Wanted Price: $5000 or best offer.

    Edit: $3500 is my bottom dollar, I have more than that into just the engine. $4000 takes everything, any less and I'm keeping the Lengel upper plenum (you will still get original 2-piece upper).

    Description:

    Clean Title


    Well guys after a long time of trying to get this thing put together, I was almost to the finish line, but I lost my job and now I have to make a turning point in my life and I just can't put anymore money into this car. I'll get right to it and list the pros and cons.


    Pros:


    Engine:
    - Rebuilt 87 engine block with forged wiseco pistons, T2 rods, T2 crank.
    - Direct Connection big valve ported G-head (professionally repaired)
    - PT lifters
    - Comp Beehive springs
    - 3800 retainers
    - Roller cam
    - Rebuilt T2 turbo with 60mm S60 style compressor. (less than 500 miles)
    - ARP Head Studs
    - MP Head Gasket
    - New Timing Belt
    - Fidanza adjustable cam gear
    - FWD Performance ported exhaust manifold (ceramic coated)
    - Ported lower 2-piece runners
    - Lengel custom upper plenum
    - Accufab AFPR (new)
    - FWD Performance Billet Fuel Rail (new)
    - +40 Injectors (new)
    - Custom MSD wires (new)
    - Custom Distributor Cap (new)
    - Malory coil (new)
    - 160 amp alternator
    - Custom fuel pump block off plate
    - Acannell's #4 coolant mod
    - Stainless braided turbo lines
    - FWD Performance billet t-stat housing
    - Oil pan sand blasted and painted black


    a413 Transmission:
    - Direct clutch plates replaced
    - Pump gears replaced with 86+ style gears
    - New high stall torque converter 86+ style
    - New gaskets / filter


    Interior:
    - Custom 3-gauge plate for dash
    - AEM wideband (new)
    - Autometer boost/vac (new)
    - Glowshift electronic fuel pressure gauge (new)
    - Pioneer MVH-P8200BT professionally installed w/ bluetooth
    - Kicker 6.5" front
    - Kicker 6x8" rear
    - Infinity reference 3.5" dash
    - Kicker 10" subwoofer in low-profile sealed box
    - Rockford Fosgate 125w RMS amp w/ professionally installed Kicker 4 gauge wiring kit
    - Interior is black in mint condition. The only blemish in the interior is a small burn hole on the back seat.
    - Front seats are in great shape, no wear or tears.
    - The bezels, door handle trim, vents, and speaker covers were highlighted with red paint, but I have brand new woodgrain dash bezels and center console, and spare black vents. The rest can be re-painted black.


    Other:
    - Viper 5901 alarm/remote start 2-way 2-mile remote. professionally installed.
    - New wagner pads / AAP rotors
    - FWD Performance Stage 5 87 logic module (new)
    - 3-bar MAP sensor (new)
    - AEM No-weld O2 Sensor mount (new)
    - 4x BFGoodrich G-force Sport-Comp II 195/50/15 Tires (new)
    - New gas tank & straps
    - New 255 lph Walbro pump
    - New 2.5" intercooler piping kit
    - HKS SSQV on 2.5" pipe with real OEM HKS o-ring/snap-ring
    - New big 2.5" in/out same side Intercooler
    - 2.5" to 3" 90 silicon elbow and short 3" pipe for K&N filter

    - vacuum block
    - FWD Performance red vacuum line kit
    - Conventional H4 Headlight conversion with halos
    - New belts/hoses


    Cons:


    - This vehicle is still a project. I have 99% of the parts needed to finish it, but it would take another $200-$300 to get it back on the road for every day use.
    - Needs 4 pins switched on logic module to work with 87 computer
    - Needs wiring run for 3-bar map
    - Needs new gas tank and walbro pump (included) installed (original tank/pump still in car)
    - Needs aftermarket gauges installed/wired
    - Passenger side front caliper does not move when brake is pressed
    - Passenger side front wheel bearing needs replaced
    - Light rust underneath, nothing crazy.
    - Paint is not perfect, it has a few blemishes and chips, but it is 98% good.
    - No battery


    For the right price I will include my daytona dealership package; framed daytona poster, daytona match-box and un-cut "Daytona" key + keychain.


    I have seen very few first gen Daytona's as nice as this one. It seriously hurts to even make this ad, I really don't want to sell it but I have no choice.


    I could be forgetting something because this list is gigantic and I can't remember every part I have for it. If you want more pictures just ask. Make me an offer, the worst I can say is no. I will add pictures of engine bay once engine is back in the car.

    The lighting was bad in this picture so it looks much lighter than it is.

    The light was a bit crooked in this picture but I have adjusted it since



    As of 6/11/14 here is the current progress:

    front engine mount attached
    valve cover installed
    upper intake installed
    fuel rail, AFPR, and injectors installed
    alternator installed
    distributor installed

    Got the trans home, everything was in working order. Here are the parts that were pulled out of it and replaced with new:







    You can see how the pump is now seated completely into the transmission:



    After putting in the new torque converter I attached it to the engine and bolted up the starter.

    I need this car gone. I'm willing to deliver it up to 12 hours away for gas money (I'll pay for the tow trailer) on the weekend of the 21st. Make me an offer.

    Dropping my price to $3500 with everything, $3000 without custom plenum. I seriously need this car gone ASAP.


    Alright, here are some pics of the underside. The rust damage isn't too bad, but it needs some TLC. I haven't washed the car for quite a while so it is really dirty. There is no rust above the rocker panels anywhere on the car, it's only on the bottom of the car.


    Drivers side is worse than pass side.


    Behind drivers side rear wheel:



    In front of drivers side rear wheel (this is the worst spot by far):



    Under drivers side (most of this is surface rust):









    Another bad spot by e-brake exit



    Under passenger side:










    Behind passenger side rear tire:



    In front of passenger side rear tire:

    Re: 1985 Daytona Turbo - $5000 OBO

    Approximate pricing of just the hard engine parts:
    Donor 87 T2 Engine: $200
    Engine, crank, rods machining: $600
    Forged Wiseco pistons: $425
    2 piece intake: $200
    Port work on lower half: $150
    Lengel plenum: $350
    Lengel rebuilt tbody: $150
    Acannell's tbody spacer: $100
    Acannell's coolant mod: $60
    Stainless lines: $100
    Rebuilt garrett: $450
    Ported Exhaust Manifold: $125
    Billet fuel rail: $125
    Accufab AFPR: $130
    +40 injectors: $200
    DC race head: $1000+
    Custom wires and cap: $90
    Fidanza cam gear: $100
    New roller rockers: $60
    New roller cam: $100
    Beehive springs: $100
    Pt lifters + shims: $60
    160 amp alternator: $150

    So that's $4,900 just in parts for the engine, that doesn't include the cost of gaskets, small parts, searching for parts, hours and hours of assembly time, etc.

    So I'll sell you my engine for $3500 and throw the car in for free, which includes a $1000 stereo system and a $500 alarm, not to mention the extra parts including gauges and intercooler and piping etc.

    Sorry if this post seems upset but I can't believe nobody wants this car. This price is a steal. I'm asking less than it would cost you to build the engine and I'm giving you the whole car.

    I've been there.

    For months, I couldn't sell my running car with working a/c
    http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/sh...186&highlight=

    So I parting it out.
    http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/sh...car&highlight=


    For your car, either make it run or part it out.
    I would part it out as you'll make more money this way and it'll keep you busy. You'll start seeing money come in as soon as you decide to part it out. That would help ease the pain.

    I know, parting it out would be better but it's hard to ruin this car, I wanted to see it go to a good home and get finished like I never could.

    I'm giving it another day, if nobody bites by tomorrow night I'll close this and post up a part out thread.
