I'm selling my 92 SC...just need something a little more practical and easier on gas for a daily driver. It's been daily driven for the past year and a half to get me to school and work.

Car is an original 5-speed car (1256 made). Moonlight blue exterior with the grey leather/tweed split interior.

Exterior is a 6-7 out of 10. The paint looks like it should for a car that's 15 years old...it has started to fade on the roof, as well as the bumper covers, the front bumper also has a small hole (about 1" x 3") that's been there since I've had the car. Other than the fading paint, the body is in pretty good shape...few small door dings and I noticed there's a small spot of surface rust over the rear tire.

Interior is an 8.5 out of 10. The driver side seat has the typical wear spot on the left bolster, and the dash has 3 splits in it, again, been like that since I bought it. Other than those two things the interior is great. The seats are still in perfect shape and the leather is fine as well.

The odometer shows roughly 180k miles. I got the car at 149k with a blown head gasket. They were replaced with Fel-pro prototype MLS gaskets and ARP head studs. The cylinders still looked fresh yet and still had the crosshatching. The rest of the engine looks great as well. I have plenty of pics from the rebuild if anyone is interested. It still runs strong and boosts to roughly 12 psi. I also put a new radiator and power steering pump on at the time.

Now for the issues. The worst part about the car is the 2nd gear syncro is bad in the tranny. I have a spare M5R2 that I planned to swap into the car that is supposed to be good. The power steering high pressure line also leaks...I'm in the process of fixing that. Sunroof seal is starting to leak...I've got one to replace it with. E-brake cable is broke...fixing that as well. The auto ride doesn't work (light flashes). It's throwing a code, it's just never bothered me enough to bother with it. The ABS cables are unhooked from the rear end. The holes are rusted on the pumpkin so the bolts won't go into it. It doesn't seem to affect the ABS operation so I haven't bothered with it either, the brake light just comes on sometimes. The A/C needs recharged. I have converted it to the new style A/C and I have 3 cans of freon...it just needs to be filled.

The car is basically stock. It has a 5% OD pulley on it, and an exhaust with a deleted resonator and Flowmaster catback. It's pretty loud and raspy, flows good, and took some backpressure off of the heads. It boosted to about 16 psi before the exhaust. There's also an aftermarket fan on the radiator that is modified to run all of the time.

I just changed the oil about 300 miles ago and it looked clean (it's been changed religously when the VMM comes on). There is also 2 new Kuhmo tires on the rear that have about 1000 miles on them. It's been a great car for me since I've had it. It's given me no major issues other than what I've listed here.

I'm also going to throw in some extra parts with it that includes:
-an extra M5R2. If I replace it or not, I'll throw in an extra one if you want to have it rebuilt.
-a 3.27 TL rear end. I had it in the car but it sounds as if there's a bearing that's gone bad in it.
-two headlights, look new.
-two complete doors (white in color).
-two bottles of supercharger fluid.

I think I've covered just about everything I can think of...not trying to hide anything.

Asking $2000 OBO.

Car is located in Kearneysville, WV (eastern panhandle area). Zip code 25430 if you want to google it.

I'll make another post with some pics.

Other detailed pics available if anyone needs to see them.

Also forgot to mention I'll be keeping the stereo (head unit). There's 2 JBL speakers and 2 regular speakers in the car. There's also wiring for an amp, minus the RCA cable.

In addition to daily driving, it's seen about 20 passes at the strip. The best time I managed with the car was with just a 5% pulley, it ran a 15.03@93mph on old street tires.

Thanks. I really don't have the time to fix anything else on it. I put a new pressure line in it, but I'm thinking one of the seals where the lines go into the pump are leaking now, also fixed the e-brake.

Taking offers. It needs to go or I'm parting it.

So it has been converted to R-134a, but the refrigerant has leaked out?

Would you be able to get it to the DAS hub in Manassas, VA? If I were to get it, it would have to be shipped..

If so send me those detailed pics, MediumD(at)Gmail.com.

Yes it's converted to R-134a, but I never finished charging it. Like I said, I have a little over 2 cans left to finish it off.

I really can't drive it anywhere. It has no tags, registration, insurance, etc on it right now. Not sure what could be done.
