Its an '84 GS with just under 55,000 miles. I got it from forum member Vashner (Randy), who is an excellent guy, for $500. The outside's a little rough (some rust spots), but it runs like a top! Has a small coolant leak from the t-stat neck, but should be an easy fix. I'll try to put up pics soon!!!

I do have a question though- is the airpump on a 12A neccessary? I know on my FC it actuated the 5th and 6th ports, but 12A's don't even have 6ports do they?

 

the air pump supplies fresh air to the main converter to "clean up" the exhaust emissions and to cool the converter to avoid meltdown. it is needed if you have a catylitic converter. removing it really does nothing as far as performance is concerned.

the 12A is a 4 port engine. a 6 port was available in markets outside of the U.S. we'll be looking forward to the pics!

 

Well, I'm gonna have to gut the cat anyways (its clogged apparently), so I figure airpump removal will be nothing more than weight and parasitic drag loss, lol!

Thanks for the info, and I'll try to get pics tomorrow (probably put them up monday, as I'm pretty well convinced the Super Bowl party is gonna have me "not roadworthy")

 

Finally got a cam and snapped some pics today.





Just rolled this over today, lol.

 

Nice car. Looks pretty clean too!

 

She looks happy man. Thx again and stay safe & have fun.

 

Not bad, not bad at all. That's pretty sweet for 500 beans

 

The interior is actually in damn good shape. No cracks in any plastic, no tears in the seats, floormats are in good shape. Exterior wise, it has a few rust spots (mainly around the hatch, hence the gorilla tape, lol), but I think I may be able to fix it. If I get in over my head, I know plenty of people who are good at body work who would be willing to lend a hand.

I need to do something about the clogged cat. I think I'm gonna pull it off one of these days (soon) and hollow it out. Plus I need to source a dual belt alt pulley so I can ditch the airpump.

 

not bad at all, seems pretty un-molested...time to start molsesting

 

Few & far between here on the East coast, and sure not for only 500 bucks!
Congrats.

 

Definatly looks solid, much beter than anything I've bought for $500 over here in the rust belt lol. Good luck with it!

 

looks really nice!! plan on repainting it the original sunbeam silver metallic?

 

Actually, I'm painting it dark metallic blue eventually.

 

wow with only 55k!! that should last you a few decades. take care of it!

 

damn you and your unsalted roads. Good find.

 

Excellent find! Reminds me of the same car (and color) that won me over all those years ago. I've got a t2 now, but will ALWAYS love the FB!! Good luck with it!!

 

Thanks guys. I've been moving all week, so haven't had access to the interwebz, but its about to roll over 56k, lol.
