Steal it, before I have to drag it home.

This one I know a little about- it belongs to my son. It runs, but overheats. He's ready to move on.

293K, MT, good clutch, clean body. Pretty sure the rubber is good too. Car is in ATL.

I haven't spent any time with this car, but I am betting it's the head gasket. We've just got too much going on to deal with it.

$1000 obo.

Hmmm... no interest?

You guys surprise me.

Any feedback?

GRM folks will start to change a headlight bulb and wind up rebuilding the engine "while they are in there".

They won't take the time to click a link, though. That's why the hotlink thread has gone on for so long.

Dig the color. I wish my model year came in that hue.

Free bump, I still miss my '01 L 5spd.

In reply to Brett_Murphy:

Thanks, Brett.

I'm pretty surprised at the lack of response on this one.

I shopped them for awhile and that is a fairly normal price for a blown head gasket version. Yours may be cleaner (I never got beyond exterior pics on the CL ones)

Just what I am looking for to put my 02 WRX drivetrain into (well actually an 03+ would be better). Too damn far away though.

Paul is quite connected in the GRM world and a whole lot of GRM'ers are going to be driving right by that car in a few weeks time. Someone might be convinced to do some hauling.

I said obo.

Don't assume.

I also would not assume it has a blown head gasket. Like I said, I've spent no time with it.

Make an offer.

Yep.

I've hauled over 20K miles for GRMer's for free. I'm sure we can work something out (although, Ontario is a bit of a hike).

6-8 months ago I seriously would have bought it to make a challenger out of it. Since then I have picked up 4 potential challenge cars so the inn is full.
