Rare BiTurbo sells pn BaT

RUNNING (!) 18k original miles 1984 BiTurbo sells for $11,555 on bring a trailer.

That was yesterday, it's no longer running and should be on Craigslist later today for $850.

When it stops running! LOL

Seems like these should be prime candidates for EV conversion, if only one could fine one that didn't run...

It will be driven straight into a museum and never started again.

If by "museum" you mean tall grass...  That is pretty much the natural habitat of a BiTurbo.  

Imagine that, a BiTurbo with low mileage.   

They call it bring a trailer for a reason.  

So that seems to set an absolute ceiling on BiTurbo values. $11k gets you an all original 18k mile running and driving one in almost pristine condition.

And that still seems like 10-large too much.

It's actually a 100,000 mile car. That's 18K on the road and 82K on the back of a flatbed.

You can usually spot me in the comments section of BaT auctions of 'GRM forum type cars'.  I posted on that one..

Thumbs down stew. The bi turbo jokes never get old! If you can think of a better way to make fun of cars, want to hear it!

Aren't biturbo jokes kind of worn out by now?  They're almost (not) as funny as Lucas electrical jokes.

They're more worn out than the tires of a biturbo- damn things never move!

I wish the engine bays were a little bigger. I almost bought a $400 example to stuff a SBC in but the engine bays are not roomy. 

OMG you guys are savage.  This thread delivers the LOLs.

When the new owner learns that to change the oil filter you have to pull the radiator he will understand why the coolant looks soo fresh.

Timeless styling preserve for posterity sake.

Is length the problem? Isn't the OE V6 a DOHC engine, meaning one would think width wouldn't be an issue if swapping in an OHV V8?

Well obviously the seats are the best part of the car.

I thought 18k was high mileage for them.
