Wanted: MR2 Any condition

I'd really like an MR2 for an upcoming Challenge project. 

I really only need the tub, but drivetrain is helpful, and anything else is worth recoup. 

The cheaper the better, the newer the better. 

Anyone have any leads?

Here you go. 

Edit: And of course you're welcome to stay here if you get it. 

PM'd.

I have one that I was trying to sell on here for ~$300, and I still have it. I would even give you a parts car with it.

'86, rust free, decent interior...Unfortunately it's an automatic, but if you're only after the body...

I want them out of my yard.

That's 4, all of which are 1000+ miles from me. 

So sad!

I'm only 700 miles! You can crash at my place!

In reply to JamesMcD :

700 EACH WAY. 

That's 1400 miles on top of the 1000 per week I currently drive. 

Maybe I'll look into shipping...

In reply to SVreX :

Then what city do you live in?

In reply to GIRTHQUAKE :

I live in Albany GA (31721) on weekends. 

I live in Columbia SC (29072) during the week. 

It's complicated...

Why?  Are you offering shipping?

In reply to JamesMcD :

You've got mail

In reply to SVreX :

Got it.

1986 Toyota MR2 on FB Marketplace

I literally just posted one to this page in the $2018 classifieds. I wish I had seen this haha. 

Here is the link:

I know the PO mentioned in this ad, and I know it sold cheap. The pics are the ones used to sell it last time...

If I had known this was coming back up for sale I would have bought it instead of the X1/9

*edit

Dug up the text from the original ad last year:

For Sale: 1986 Toyota MR2, D-Prepared build in-progress.

Selling my said project due to moving and having 7 vehicles.

The car is on it's way to being ready for D-Prepared. Completely gutted, lightened, and some rot already cut out (passenger floor is cut out and will be the biggest panel replacement job, but I have a pattern cut). Runs flawlessly with only 102k original miles, and a head rebuild at 70k (donated to an automotive tech school for a student project).

Has brand new Bassett 13x8 racing wheels, wrapped in used AVON ZZ-R 20 treadwear r-comps. The car currently sits on Eibach springs, and I have 4 brand new KYB non-adjustable shocks. I also have many of the original parts...seats, spoiler, sunroof, lights, etc. Hood is not pictured, but it's included. I even have the car's original window sticker, original owner maintenance records, and some sweet 80's sales brochures. Pretty cool. See pics. There's also a pic of a DP MR2 which is what I was going for. Good winter project which could be ready for 2017. I'm willing to trailer it to your location, within reason.

Asking $600

So.....

If I'm reading this correctly, the seller likely bought it for $600 or less?

Yes

In reply to Indy-Barely Functional-Guy :

Right. And now it's been sitting for a year

Well, this knowledge will help the $$ negotiation tomorrow.
