I got really lucky today, i found this car on craigslist last night 20 minutes after it was posted,the guy i got it from is the son of the owner of Mariah Motorsports,it's got it all,it did have an engine fire,but i am gonna fix before i do the turbo swap,oh it is a 84 GSL-SE.i paid $500 for it.i will post more pics as the project evolves,enjoy.

 

Nice score! Keep us updated on how the turbo swap goes.

 

You got an amazing deal!

 

Thats insane!!

500 bucks wouldnt normally buy you a STOCK SE, that had an engine fire!
And being what it is, and who its from,you know that the kit was installed right......very,very nice score!

 

You sir scored big time the hatch alone cost $500+, perfect candidate for a TII swap. Nice job and keep us posted.

 

wow is that even 500$ Ca which would then be even better score. The body condition looks pretty good too whom ever did the work.

 

damn that is a score and a half.

 

$500 U.S.

 

damn it you bastard

good on ya i was second inline

 

Say ughhhh, I hope that isn't you in that second pic. Any way, that would be called theft around here! You have certainly got the deal of the century.

 

that is my son in that pic,future racer.

 

Beautiful!!!! good find

 

Thanks Shayla

 

I wish I could find deals like that!!!!!!! Lucky !

if it weren't for Rob,i wouldn't have been able to get it.

 

wow, u have a gold mine there. many ppl would kill for even one of the peices in that body kit.


i had a friend years ago who's neighbor owned a mariah mode 1 and a 94 FD in kennewick, wa. i tried to contact the owner but he was never home. i would have bought both! what a waste they just sat there for years!

good luck in whatever you do with it!

 

500$ bought me a front bumper.

You deffinately scored BIG time.

 

Congrats on such a great deal.....

 

thanks,i've been working on it all weekend here and there,took the dynamic chamber & maifold off,i'm gonna need to put a different throttle body on because the fire detroyed the linkage,it will also need new oil injectors,and some new hoses,but all in all it's really not that bad.I should have it running by middle of the week,i will post some pics later today.

 

All I can say is: If you don't do the car justice, I will personlly come out there and spank your ***. Welcome to the widebody club. Btw, skip fixing the SE engine and go directly to a TII swap. That's the only way to fly.

 

the only reason i'm fixing the SE engine,is so that if it runs runs good,i can shoot a vid and sell it to help finance the turbo motor swap.origanlly i was going to put in a S5 t2,but i'm just gonna go straight to the 13B RE,not sure on turbo size yet,engine management will be a power FC,itwill have a large Streetport,stage 3 oil mods,i'm even thinking ceramic seals as i will be running around 25 PSI for track use.

 

damn so you were the guy with the deposit on it
i almost cryed......

 

OMFG! Ive been watching Craigslist FOREVER trying to score another 1st gen since mine was stolen, I cant believe I missed that! Damn, Ive been looking for another one ever since mine was stolen. Wanna give it to a good cause? Ill give you more than you paid for it

dude. you got screwed. royally. i feel sooo bad for you. i feel so bad for you that ill buy the car from you. how does $600 sounds

just kidding. sweet find.
