I don't know what to say.

Deff haggard. Although the price already makes me feel good about my crapboxes.

that undercarriage is sketch

That’s one of my old ITR’s, I sold it to the seller who has it listed back in 2010’ish.

Maybe you can chime in if you have a bat account. Someone posted an old archived post where the car was boosted in Pennsylvania. Seems odd since the car was never registered in the Northeast.

Might be nice to archive some of the history of that R on that site since it seems like that is where all Rs go to sell in the future

Good call, the PA stuff was RTW Ryan digging up false dirt

The seller found an H-T thread where I listed the FS ad that covers it all. I honestly forgot that I bought it off the original owner. I’ve been half tempted to bid on this.

Any info on the corrosion under the car and major (and ugly) repair?

X2 that floor along the "repair" is alarming.

Honestly, it looks exactly the same as when I got it way back when. I'm not sure what the stuff sprayed underneath is as this happened after my time, but if it's preventing it from spreading, then so be it.

The original owner I purchased it from daily drove it in Milwaukee, both of the rear quarters had bubbling at the wheel arch as he left that stupid weatherstripping on, which trapped in the elements. He wasn't an enthusiast or anything of the sort, just some oblivious dad that drove it through the crap year round.

I had full intentions of dropping the suspension, coating what could be and replacing the rest but got some pushback at home about doing another ITR restoration.

What I do remember was this was a damn fine driving car, it was by far my favorite of the three I had and the motor rebuild was rock solid and should be great going forward.

I wish he would have at least swapped out the valve cover before posting, that's a bad look.

Ahh I remember this car now.
