This is why we can't have nice things

This was a perfectly good 740 turbo not very long ago, in a rare col0ur, that is even manual. Now it’s ruined. I’m so tired of wannabe drifters ruining all the manual bricks.....I should’ve saved this one when I had the chance.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I’ve pretty much accepted that if I ever want a nice manual 740 turbo, I’m gonna have to build it myself. It’s like trying to find an unmolested S13.

Also this thing was asking $900 when it was still in nice shape and only needed the overdrive fixed.... Now this ass is asking $100 more after he’s gone and got it a VI, as well as making it unable to pass the VI with his garbage “mods”.

Ugh.

As far as turbo goes, you’re better off building it yourself anyway. A stock redblock just doesn’t put out much, turbo or no.

You missed the best part of the ad:

“catches on fire once sometimes”

That said, while this particular one is pretty bad, I want to buy a cheap 740, and modify the hell out of it. it’s hard to feel bad about drilling holes in a sub 1000 dollar car.

I don’t blame you, I just don’t appreciate the pointless ruining of one in a rare colour, and a factory manual turbo. They’re super rare over here.

It’s a sub-$1000 car, but it’s still rare

This is a good point

The 740 is so unloved compared to the 240 and the 940. Living in Volvo country #2 unmolested good looking cars come up from time to time, but then they’re usually around $3000.

Also, this 760:

What’s a “stack” and what is coming out of the hood?

Yeah, clean 740s are at least that much over here too, but they’re always auto. Also that link isn’t working for me for some reason

He’s cut off the exhaust, cut a hole in the hood, and welded that pipe onto the end of the turbo I guess. Calls it a stack like the stacks in the back of some bro trucks.
