NCReatta Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) Picked up Recian's '89 coupe today. After a series of unfortunate events, the car no longer runs and drives. We agreed on a price, and I picked it up today. As many of you may know, it has had EXTENSIVE work done to the drivetrain. Here's a link to some of the threads he's made on the work he's done on his car: http://forums.aaca.org/search.php?searchid=618542Though it's had a lot of work done to it, I really cannot afford to restore it, and thus will be parting it out. Any parts you want, please email, call, or send a private message (PM) to me, and we can discuss.The engine and tranny have well over $3500 invested. It's technically a 3900 now. I will listen to offers on this. YOU MUST pick the engine up yourself if you want it. After a few weeks, you can probably just take the whole car (stripped for most parts - still easier to transport)Please contact me if you're interested. Pictures coming soon!

NCReatta Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Marck, What happened to the car to make it undrivable? He put so much time and cash into it, even rebuilt the engine?Thank'sRichardRichard, fuel pump troubles lead to sender unit troubles, and while fixing the fuel sender unit, the tank fell off and broke the fuel lines coming from the tank. I've taken starting fluid and made it turn over and run, but it will need a new tank and lines before its drivable. It has a brand new crate transmission, and a engine that's been rebuilt from the ground up. There's basically not a piece under the hood that's not new. Plus new shocks, brakes, drilled and slotted rotors, and other stuff. If someones looking for a good car to restore, this is it. I'll take $2200 for the car if someone would like to finish the car. For that price I'll even include another has tank. I may even have some fuel lines I'll throw in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCReatta Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Sure, Jim.. here's a summary of the work that's been done:New GM crate 4T60 transmission. (retail price $1,250)Completely rebuilt engine. Docked heads, rebored to about a 3900. New pistons, all new parts inside and out. Not a piece that's not new on this engine.New shocks and struts all the way around. New cradle bushings and boltsNew brakes. Drilled and slotted rotors, new calipers all the way around I believeThere's probably more that's been done that I'm not aware of. I keep finding more stuff that's new on this car.Pictures I have are of the car terribly dirty, and they're not wanting to upload right now. I've powerwashsed the car, and it looks pretty decent. I'll try to get some more pictures this week sometime and post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCReatta Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Not much can be taken in the way of pictures to show all the work it's had done, but here's some so you can get a general idea of how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCReatta Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 I do have the few missing items (rear quarter trim, headliner, driver's headlight bucket, etc) they're just not in the car at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
