Yep, really its time to sell off all the race projects. I won't have any time or money to deal with these as we try to get Asphault Adventures off the ground so it must go.

1990 Yugo GV+ Fully gutted and flared widebody Yugo. Currently has 1300cc EFI motor, not running. Previous owner was trying to convert to megasquirt. All original wiring and ECU is still in tact. Current engine has a good 4-2-1 header installed.

Currently sitting on 13" widened steel wheels with racing slicks. An assortment of other used racing slicks as well as 205/60/13 BFG tires included. With the Fiat 500 on the US shores there is good availability for larger diameter wheels in the 4x98 pattern if desired.

6 or 7 (I've lost track) spare engines 1300 and 1500cc. Current spare motor in build up process is a 1500cc with 9.5:1 compression pistons, PBS built big valve head and a real (not regrind) Faza Daytona 40/80 cam. This WILL NOT run on the stock EFI, see info on MS system below.

Spare 5 speed transmission (original) a Steve Hoelsher built 4 speed is currently in the car. Steve is a multi time SCCA DP autox champion and transmission builder, its a good unit.

Mold to make a fiberglass hoods is included but no hoods have been pulled from it yet. Needs a final polish before ready to pull parts

MANY MANY MANY spare engine, brake and other mechanical parts included.

One of the last remaining sets of Koni Red shocks and struts for a Yugo in this country are included. Rear transverse leaf spring pack upgraded with extra spring. Further extra springs are included for tuning. Adco rear swaybar installed.

This is a very light, very fast, good handling little car that just needs time invested.

$2000 for everything

Trades considered, but only running driving street legal vehicles. Of particular interest would be a VW based trike.

For an extra $1000 I will throw in a brand new in box microsquirt controller, Innovate wideband O2 sensor with gauge, and all the parts required for conversion to distributorless igniton. Over $1500 paid for these parts alone.

Photo from the first time I built her, she is looking a little rougher around the edges now but would clean up nicely.

For those who don't know, I am the previous owner.

This car was the most fun I ever had on a track.

I strongly endorse Jim, and encourage anyone who's ever wanted to see what is so special about a Yugo to buy this.

You can zero it out by selling the parts with it.

Do the Cromodoras still come with it?

No the Chromodoras are now on another member's (Raze) car here. I let them go rather cheap because, as you know, they had some blemishes and honestly his car was just so perfect in every way but the wheels. He did a full restoration on them and it looks beautiful.

You should check out his build thread.

Last bump, will negotiate reduced price without spares but if no interest then I'm going to start selling off the spares and bits ebay the car or part it. No point in keeping these things around right now, trying to plan a move and too many cars and parts to move them all :)

I posted a link to this on the Yugo mailing list.

Also if you don't have any luck with the sale and start parting it contact me. I would love a number of those parts.

Also PM sent.

parts wise this is worth at least double the asking price, I just really hate to part it out. But yes, there's a whole bunch of rare, good parts for anyone looking to build a very fast car.

Looks the same as it did before, just riding on steelies now (wider/better) and needs a good cleaning.

Must be a FB permission thing, the link takes me directly to my Yugo album. I'll have to move the pics to a non FB site and post them up, I'm away on vacation right now so it may be a day or two until I can do it.

edit changed the album to public privacy setting should be visible to you now.

Good deal, wish it was closer! Shipping would double the price for me. One of you locals need a fun project, this should make an easy and rewarding revival!

So I've been going through the parts stash and starting to do a little more work on it. Still for sale but check out the build thread for all the $$ rare parts I've unearthed on this thing. Really this is probably the steal of the century even if you just want to build up an X1/9 and dont want the Yugo.

Sadly no, but interesting, very interesting. I'm easily tempted by things

Seems like a very fair trade - one infinitely unfinished project for another?
