SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!! SOLD!!!

The time has come to sell my baby. I bought the car from a used car dealer that bought the car from the original owner. It had 74k on it when I got it. I've had it for a year and a half and put 13k on it. It has never let me down and always, always starts up with a flick of the key. It does not burn any oil. When I got it, it needed brakes and shocks/struts. I replaced all four rotors, put new pads on and flushed the brake fluid. I also put in 4 new KYB's (the non-adjustable ones). I've replaced the rear strut mounts and front cv boots. The engine runs absolutely perfectly. It makes no knocks, ticks or any other funny noises. The transmission shifts like new and I flushed the trans fluid last year. I also flushed the radiator two months ago. I put a K&N panel filter in the stock air box. I built a custom 3" turbo back exhaust with a WRX downpipe, flexpipe, magnaflow hi-flow catalytic converter and flowmaster 40series delta flow muffler. The car sounds pretty mean. It has WRX black and blue front seats, a Valentine One radar detector power cord hardwired to next to the rear view mirror, multiple AC power outlets in the glove box, new tires with only 6500 miles on them. The bottom of the front fenders were rusting so I had one of them fixed. Unfortunately the guy who did the work didn't line it up just right and when I had it up on jack stands and opened the door, it hit the fender and bent it in. The other side is starting to rust through at the bottom. I have a set of mud guards that will go with the car so when you put new fenders on it, it won't rust again. It's got an aftermarket Panasonic head unit and 4 speakers. This has been a fantastic car and I'll be very sorry to see it go. I've been totally bitten by the Subaru bug though and I'm itching to take on a project for the summer. So, I've got a swap planned and I want to fund phase 1 with the sale of this car. It will be available for sale March 21st. I'll be posting up new pics of the car including all the good and bad things about it so you will get a very fair view of it. I'm the kind of person that really enjoys working on my cars and I've had fun keeping this one in good shape. ~ $2,950

next project is a 96-99 leggy GT wagon with wrx drivetrain. I'm trying to get a hookup in NY or CT or NJ to get access to buying a car at auction.

Just bought a 98 gt wagon yesterday. Need to sell my 91ss to fund the wrx swap. Anyone interested? This is a pretty rare example of a true low mileage 91ss that runs like a top.

If I don't get a good offer on this thing soon, I think I'm going to keep the bottom end of the motor for my GT wagon project and part the rest of it out. It would be a shame to break up such a low mileage car but I don't see too many other options....

You're kidding right?!?!

Why would you part out such a rare, low mileage car in such great condition...


Especially when you could buy a shortblock out of a wrecked car, instead of destroying a good one

I'm itching to get this other project started.
