Hey guys there is this guy who has a swapped altrac near my neighborhood that he finally gave up on and is selling it dirt cheap 1k. Downside is that the car is nto working or rather, its not turning on.
"1990 all trac turbo celica, extremly rare car, aftermarket JDM engine only has 60k, new timing belt,water pump,alternator,radiator,brake pads and battery. car won't start need some engine work done. body is in fair condition.great project car has lot of potential.looking for a quick sell. price is firm." Do you think this is a good deal? If I decide not to fix it, and to just part it out will I get back my money? I'm thinking of either three things. 1 - fix it 2 - part it out 3 - eventually swap the engine into my celi >_> What do you think? |

Do NOT part that car. We only got a very few Alltracs here in the states, some have been lost to wrecks etc. - it would be a crime to enthusiasts to intentionally destroy one like that. Clips are easy enough to come by - get one of those like everyone else for your swap.
I don't mean to sound harsh it's just really a shame to even contemplate that. Imagine if we had gotten ST-205's in very small numbers and someone canibalized one for use in another car when clips are so readily available - imagine the outrage on this site. That being said - it's your opportunity: Do what makes you happy. If it were me I'd buy it and restore it and use the 6th gen as a daily driver.
