I'm thinking of picking up an 85 turbobrick for super cheap on craigslist. Anything I should look out for? Apparently it "has clutch issues", but it's also only $350 with title.

*obviously the car I'm looking at is a bit rougher than the one above*

Hey, you can't be any crazier than me. I got my car, it had no floor, engine transmission, or interior.

So, you basically bought a roof with wheels?

Rust in the bottom of the doors, and on near the rearside of the front control arms. I've seen a few 240's rust there.

Thanks, rust isn't usually much of a problem around me, but I'll be sure to give it a look.

My vision for the car just imagine that, plus wagon.

thanks man. Hopefully it'll have an engine in it before the snow flies. The dodnor car shows up a week from Monday.

Go for it. Turbo wagon I assume? At that price you can scrap it any time and lose nothing. But turbos are getting harder and harder to find. Clutch ain't shit to do in those, just time

I have only driven later models so all I can say is - enjoy your brick!

do you think there is anyone on Oppo that could do a rendering of the car in a finished state?

I'm sure someone on here could, there are a lot of people on here who are pretty good with Photoshop (and I think there might be a few CAD junkies as well)

Best thing to do would be to make a new post and request it of the community.

Ya know what, I think I will. Have this as my thanks. The only photo shop that I REALLY wanted to be real.
