Consulier for sale on ebay

[Johnny]

Looks are funny IF you look at the right angle but these were race cars. NSX even looks like them....

[player1up]

Just this man's opinion Player1, I've owned roughly 30TM's so I love them but when I looked at the GTP's to purchase(BEFORE the fire sale so they were still asking 80K for the nice ones) I just couldn't get past the looks. Flame away but IMO that's a face only a mother or GTP owner could love. But heck, I like Mini Vans and Omnis so what do I know

Oh, no worries, to each his own. I know they look odd compared to just about everything on the road, but to a certain extent so does a Countach ( super slanted front end, huge flanks and a kooky rear wheel opening )

To Johnny's point, Google image search "1990 IMSA GTP" and there you go.

The Consulier is retro-sheik and so fun to drive it can get illegal

What...we would never drive over the forced speed limit would we?

[polopharm]

Mine says I am going 160mph, when idling. So I am going faster then all of you guys.

Has anyone driven or in a countach? One of the most uncomfortable cars ever, so freaking hot inside. Makes a consulier look easy to get in /out of even when I was 14.

never...lol.. not on public streets, sets a bad example, but boy it does get to the speed limit awfully quick

That's an interesting position. What do you think the Consuliers should be worth?

I was thinking around $22 - 24k for this one. But if I were an owner and wanted to sell one, as much as the market will bare.

[Johnny]

It does have make offer button

[88C/S]

I don't have enough at present to make a reasonable offer. But it would be fun intercooling, and beefing the drivetrain in it.

He added more photos on the ebay ad.

I have always thought these are cool cars. Is this for sure a Series II car? And how hard would the auto to manual swap be?

I called and talked to the owner, nice guy and the car is still for sale. Any thoughts from anyone? Im thinking about making an offer.

Is this the best/most active forum for these?

Thanks!

[Johnny]

This is the only active forum I know of on the Consulier...that people use.

[Johnny]

Looked like a series 2 from the photos IF I remember right.

[SpeedAddict502]

What exactly are the differences? And does anyone know how bad the manual swap would be?

Yes it's a series 2 car, Differences are as follows:
-Forward wheel openings are better designed for air flow and brake cooling
-Rear hood is designed with a cowl instead of louvers
-Different dash/gauge layout
-Different center console
-Difference Door panels
-Rear shock tower mounts in different location
-Different resin used during manufacturing
-2 wipers, instead of a single
-Bumpers front and rear
-There is more, but that's what I've got off hand.

Swapping a manual is more cost than difficulty.
Needed:
-Bracket to mount slave cylinder for hydraulic clutch
-Custom shift cables
-Modified A555, consulier specific case. MIght be able to get one from Rossion still.
-I don't know if the auto/manual axles are interchangeable. (but that's a turbo dodge thing not Consulier specific)
-Clutch peddle
-Slave cylinder from a Datsun (parts houses still have them)
-Clutch master cylinder
-Shifter

But then a built auto with a manual valve body would be great!

That would be my plan. I would have loved to been the owner of this during the fire sale.
