    MR2 $250 OBO for the Challenge minded - Bring wheels!

    This is an 86(?) MR2 I bought as a possible challenge car, but have already pushed it aside for 3 other Challenge cars. It’s time to clear it out of my yard. The car is $250 ish (if you have a good story) but only for the $2012 challenge minded Team / Person.
    Lemons guys please look elsewhere, this is the GRM forum. The car is Located Near Tampa, Florida.

    Bad (That I know of because all I did was tow it home and stuff it in under a cover):
    - Bring your own wheels; I’m keeping what is on it now. Any Challenger worth his salt has 4x100s sitting in the spare bedroom. - Bring a trailer. It ran poorly when I parked it 3 years ago, so don’t plan to drive it on the trailer. - No headlights (They are required for The Challenge) - Race car paint job, but it does not look too bad. - It’s been sitting for a good three years.

    Good:
    - Looks to be rust free - Has roll bar that you can sell off. - Comes with KYBs in the box (But since they are 3 yeas old maybe this should be in the bad.) - Has racing seat belts (old) - Looks to have a header, might have other goodies hidden here and there. - Fun aluminum air scoop

    Bill of sale. Valrico, Florida. Bring 4x100s and a trailer
    Oh, and I had better see you at the $2012 (or I’ll tell your mom you were Bad.)

    That would be perfect. Indy could be somewhat "on the way."

    No need to do this. Since roll bars are out of budget at the Challenge, write the new owner separate receipts. One for the car purchase, a second for the roll bar that happens to be in the car. That way the roll bar will stay out of budget!

    Anyone going from FL to PA?? I'd jump all over it in a heartbeat if so. I've had several MK1s and would love another...

    Man I could use a rust-free shell with a cage. Snowbird parents could tow home if you are patient.
