Vehicle Detail
1985 Subaru XT Turbo! This is one of the rarest 80's relics ever! Try finding a one for sale anywhere in the country, and you'll see that one hasn't been on the market for YEARS.You could be the only person in the Bay with one of these.To see the commercial from 1985 check this YouTube vid:youtube[.com]/watch?v=HKL7_96YGGI (remove the brackets around the '.com' to go to the link) Here's the videos of the dashboard while driving:http://youtu.be/Uqqk67IsOIghttp://youtu.be/Nk9cUHkceNk Here's the details:The GOOD:- NEW HEAD! These turbos had a thin spot on the head that could eventually corrode and leak coolant, I had the head replaced when I first got it. Also new thermostat, belts and had the coolant system flushed.- Interior is 9/10. It looks nearly new for a 30 year old car, just a couple dash cracks in the back.- Body is 9/10- just some dings in the paint & a small bend at the bottom-right of the door (can't see it). decals still strong, paint shiny and attention-grabbing.- Headlights go up & down (very slick looking)- SUNROOF! Removable panel sunroof fits flatly in the trunk & still gives room for storage.- 2 door, 4 seater, FRONT WHEEL DRIVE (rare on these)- Upgraded stereo with USB/Ipod/Mp3 capability & built in preamp for LOUD music- 4 Cylinders / GREAT ON GAS (25-30 MPG if you don't drive like it's stolen)- ALL ORIGINAL!- Comes with a car cover!The Bad:- There is still a coolant leak somewhere after the new head was installed. I think there is coolant leaking into a cylinder and the head may need re-seating to fix this (the damn mechanic didn't do it right).- It can idle pretty rough right now sometimes, due to the coolant leak.- Overheating pretty quickly, due again to the damn coolant leak I don't have to the time/tools/patience to fix. - Someone used "Blue Devil" (another reason I flushed the coolant system & replaced the head) and the overflow coolant tank has some solidified in it, but still works.- One or two loose buttons on the jet-fighter style steering column.LONG STORY SHORT: This car is very retro-future looking & has a crazy digital dashboard with animations of the car driving & things you've never seen before. It's a zippy turbo that can really blast off from a stop light. The car was designed by jet engineers & was the most aerodynamic vehicle in the world back in good old 1985.If you're a fan of the rarest, peppiest 80's Subaru 4 Cylinder Turbo that ever existed, but don't mind paying for a little work or doing it yourself, you have a potential show car. If I didn't have a kid on the way I wouldn't ever sell this car, but i simply don't have any time to work on it now...Give me an email or call to setup a time to check it out. Also interested in similar rare trades from the 80'sYou will get endless attention everywhere you go with this car; you'll meet people that are taking pictures of it while it's parked, and you can't get gas without someone asking you about it. This car is being sold as-is, with no refunds whatsoever. It is registered, smogged (CA), insured and 100% legal, but I do not want to deal with it after the sale if you are not willing or able to doing the work necessary to get her back on the road. Deal? Deal! 0-50 in one block:I have a video of the crazy dashboard & blasting off with the turbo, email me & I'll send it to you.It is the most fun car to drive in the world, and with a little love this treasure will be blasting down the road again, with you behind the wheel this time.
